The Sensex has so far touched a high of 33,926.59 points and a low of 33,832 points.

The BSE market breadth was bullish with 867 advances and 325 declines.

On Thursday, the equity indices closed with marginal losses on the back of volatility infused by futures and options (F&O) expiry along with negative global cues and a weak rupee.

The Nifty50 closed lower by 14.75 points or 0.14 per cent at 10,382.70 points, while the Sensex fell by 25.36 points or 0.07 per cent to close at 33,819.50 points.
