Mumbai: Sensex on Tuesday ended about 15 points down at 28,163.29 after hitting lifetime high of 28,282.85 while Nifty closed 5 points down at 8,425.90.
Indices are steady in noon trade with the Sensex up 23 points at 28201, and the Nifty up 3 points at 8434.
Buyers are focused on power, metal, banking, healthcare and auto stocks. Consumer durables, IT, FMCG and realty continue to be out of favour.
Stocks gained in late trade on Monday after treading water through the day, as better than expected trade balance data reiterated the increasing comfort with India's external balance position.
However, weak exports (which were offset by even weaker imports) remained a cause of worry and this was visible in the rupee, which was down versus the US dollar.
