At 15:02 hours IST - equity benchmarks were trying to hold psychologically important levels since morning trade - the Nifty at 6000 and the Sensex at 20000 mark. Oil & gas, financial, metal, technology, realty and Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group companies' shares were on buyers' radar.

Support was also led by global cues; European markets like France's CAC, Germany's DAX and Britain's FTSE gained 0.4-0.7%. Asian markets ended the session 0.5-2% higher.
