They later fell in line with other Asian markets and touched a low at noon.A gradual recovery followed.Globally, a sell-off in global stocks continued into Tuesday on signs that soaring energy prices have put a dampener on economic growth, while inflation and policy-tightening fears sent short-dated US Treasury yields to 18-month highs.Among sectors, consumer durables, metals and FMCG indices rose the most, whereas IT and telecom indices fell the most.Besides, the Indian rupee extended a bout of weakness to fall to a low of 75.65 against the US dollar.Consequently, the 30-scrip Sensex traded at 60,284.31 points, down 148.53 points, or 0.25 per cent, from its previous close.The NSE Nifty50 ended at 17,991.95 points, up by 46 points, or 0.26 per cent."Nifty has closed at the highest ever closer to 18,000 levels.
