The Sensex slumped over 80 points to 28,813 on Monday as the March derivatives series began on a subdued note, mirroring a weak trend in the Asian market.

Profit-booking at prevailing levels weighed.

The Sensex rallied about 97 points to 28,858.30 in early session today, maintaining its uptrend for the fifth day on widespread gains amid covering-up of short positions ahead of the February month expiry in the derivatives segment tomorrow.

Brokers said that a mixed trend at other Asian markets too influenced sentiments here.

MUMBAI: The BSE benchmark sensex nosedived almost 190 points in late morning deals following losses in auto, healthcare, realty, power and consumer durables stocks.
