followed by Pharma (12.6pc) and Bank (10.8pc) sectors. Most of the sectors 
displayed dismal returns, out of which Ceramic (-2.4pc), Financial 
Institution (-1.5pc) and Jute (-1.4pc) exerted the most corrections, while 
Services (0.9pc), IT (0.4pc) and Textile (0.4pc) exhibited marginal gains on 
the bourse today.
