Clinton fever does not do much for the sensex
Mumbai: Despite equities remaining depressed as bulls unloaded their long positions, the BSE sensex moved up a marginal 31 points to close at 5,133 points. It was obvious that the March year end considerations held sway over the sentiments of the market.

Once again, the declines far outstripped the advances. As many as 798 scrips moved up while 1,101 scrips declined in today's trading on the BSE. Obviously, the Clinton visit to India did not have much of an effect on the markets.

On the NSE the index closed at 1,556.60, marginally lower than its previous close.
