Markets remained volatile for yet another week but managed to end in the green. The beginning was downbeat, tracking feeble global cues but the situation improved in the following sessions with stability in the world indices. However, pressure in the IT majors combined with the prevailing underperformance of the banking pack continues to weigh on the sentiment. Eventually, both the benchmark indices, Nifty and Sensex, settled with modest gains to close at 19,751.05 and 66,282.74 levels. Meanwhile, buoyancy in select key sectors like auto, FMCG, energy and realty kept the traders occupied. Besides, the positive tone on broader indices further eased the pressure.
