The market was highly volatile, as stocks gyrated between negative and positive zones all through the trading session, with the 30-stock benchmark of BSE     witnessing an intra-day swing of 304 points. On the back of firm global indices, the Sensex began its initial trades on a positive note at 9,679, around 24 points above its previous close and rallied sharply above 9,700 level to touch an intra-day high of 9,746. Steady to firm selling pressure thereafter saw the index plunge deep into the red below 9,500- mark and touch the low of 9,442. However, the Sensex managed to erase most of its losses on buying in heavyweights and ended just nine points down at 9,645.
