Mumbai: The SENSEX opened fractionally down and later moved irregularly in a narrow range at early stages on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) on December 24 due to selling from operators and retail investors.

The BSE Sensitive Index opened slightly lower at 3,328.66 as against the December 24 close of 3,329.61 and later moved down to a low of 3,318.02 before being quoted at 3,332.67 at 10.30 a.m (IST).

Market sources said the activity was very dull and select heavy weighted counters recovered early losses on some buying by investors at lower levels.
