Mixed trend on BSE

MUMBAI APRIL 22. Select second-line counters were in the limelight even as the Sensex ended in the negative terrain in a mixed pattern of trading on the Bombay Stock Exchange here today on fairly good purchases by foreign funds alternated by profit booking by local institutions.

Polaris Software and NIIT rallied smartly reportedly on heavy net purchases by a leading foreign fund, brokers said. However, operators and some domestic institutions were believed to have been booking profits in blue chip stocks such as RIL, Infosys Technologies, Tisco, MTNL, ITC, HLL, HPCL, HCL Tech, BHEL, BSES and Bajaj Auto.

Reflecting the trend, the BSE benchmark 30-share index opened weak at 2994.50 and later moved in a limited range between 2998.13 and 2971.69 before ending at 2985.54 against yesterday's close of 2996.97, netting a fall of 11.43 points. The broad-based BSE-100 index eased by 4.07 points to 1481.99 from 1486.06.
