Mumbai: The SENSEX once again opened moderately up but witnessed extremely narrow movements in keeping with a mixed trend at early stages on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) on March 6 on alternate bouts of buying and selling.

The BSE Sensitive Index opened on a promising note at 3,647.09 over a close of 3,641.10 on March 5, and later fluctuated in a small range between 3,651.87 and 3,628.40 before being quoted at 3,645.84 at 10:30 hours (IST).

The activity was affected in view of a drastic slow down by foreign institutional investors (FII), which have made heavy investments in the past three weeks.

Meanwhile, Wall Street also observed a mixed trend with the Dow Jones Industrial Averages shedding just over 100 points and the NASDAQ Composite Index gaining nine points on March 5.
