Mixed Asian cues led the Sensex down by 16 points at 18799.71 in the opening trade and in no time hit the day's low of 18799.57. From that level, the Sensex moved upwards amid volatility for the rest of the day. In the afternoon session, the index hit the day's high of 19024.

Rupee and Bond update: India?s rupee weakened for the first time in seven days on speculation that local importers will step up foreign-currency purchases to settle quarter-end bills. It touched 44.61 on March 25, the strongest level seen since January 04. India?s 11-year bonds advanced for the fifth day after the government unveiled its debt sale plan for the first-half of the fiscal year starting April 01.
