Closing Bell: Sensex, Nifty End Flat In Volatile Trade; Banks Drag

Benchmark indices erased all the day's gains to end flat on Tuesday. BSE Sensex surged marginally by 30 points to end at 71,386 and Nifty 50 surged by 31 points to close at 21,544. Nifty Bank declined 207 points to end at 47,242 and BSE Midcap 100 rose marginally by 75 points to close at 46,969.

Tata Motors shares hit its new 52-week high in trade today to Rs 799.10 per share after Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) announced its highest wholesale figures in 11 quarters for the October-December period.

On the Nifty pack, Bajaj-Auto, Wirpo, LTI Mindtree, Tech Mahindra and Infosys were the top gainers whereas the top losers in the opening session were NTPC, Britannia Industries and Power Grid Corporation of India.

Asian markets gained traction on the international market front before attention turned to upcoming U.S. economic data. The US CPI report for December will now be watched closely for any potential global effect that might cause volatility. With this in mind, the inflation data that the US, China, and India are expected to release this week will be crucial for the market. The market's overall sentiment is currently muted as the Q3 earnings session began today and results from Reliance Home Finance and Delta Corp. are set to be released on Tuesday.
