BSE: Top losers and gainers

Markets ended near their day's lows weighed down by profit taking in financials and index heavyweight Reliance Industries after recent gains.

The 30-share Sensex ended down 80 points at 20,895 after hitting a low of 20,861 and the 50-share Nifty ended down 38 points at 6,219 after touching a intra-day low of 6,209.

The rupee weakened in late noon trade today due to dollar demand from importers.

According to currency dealers, besides dollar gaining against other currencies in the global markets, lower opening in the domestic equity market too influenced the rupee's depreciation.
