Top Gainers, Losers: The Indian markets ended almost unchanged in a volatile trading session, in continuation to the prevailing consolidation phase. The Nifty50 and BSE Sensex – gradually drifted lower as the session progressed, however buying in the select heavyweights capped the downside.

Meanwhile, the sectoral indices traded mixed wherein auto and IT managed to post decent gains while realty, metal, and pharma lost nearly a percent each. The broader indices continued their underperformance and that resulted in weak market breadth.
