said Sensex rose as funds and retail investors indulged in
profit-selling amid a weak trend on Asian bourses following overnight
losses at the US market.
They said US stocks fell on Tuesday, led
by losses in technology, after brokerage downgrades major companies as
worries increased about third-quarter US earnings.
