A day after the Sensex saw a more than 2,000-point fall in a few minutes during monthly expiry, Friday's closing session was far calmer, giving traders the first sign that Thursday's wild move may have been an anomaly under the Closing Auction Session.
On Friday, the Sensex rose about 200 points in the six minutes before the closing auction kicked in. The move was decent, but nowhere close to Thursday’s sharp expiry-day collapse, when the index plunged from around 77,200 at 3.17 pm to nearly 74,983 at 3.23 pm before recovering part of the losses.
