A highly volatile trading was seen all
through the session ahead of RBI's monetary policy review and Gujarat elections
later this week. The RBI is scheduled to announce the fifth bi-monthly policy
of the current fiscal on Dec 6.
After a strong pick up at 32,968.02,
the benchmark index Sensex reclaimed the 33,000-level to hit a high of
33,008.62 points, but profit- booking at high levels capped the gains and it finally
settled at 32,869.72, up 36.78 points, or 0.11%.
The gauge had tanked 891.50 points in
the proceeding four sessions as upbeat Q2 GDP numbers failed to dispel concerns
over a widening fiscal deficit.
