It was an extremely volatile trade for the markets today. The key benchmark indices fluctuated between gains and losses all throughout the day with no clues as to what the closing will be. A sudden bout of selling in realty, IT stocks and heavyweights like Reliance Industries, Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys Technologies led to a sharp decline in late trade. But the markets soon recovered and ended on a flat note with a negative bias.

The Sensex was pretty good at start, up by 56 points at 19280. In initial trade itself, the Sensex hit the day?s high of 19432 and turned volatile. The index fluctuated between gains and losses all throughout the day. High volatility was witnessed as the session progressed. A sudden sell-off in realty and IT stocks in late trade led the Sensex to decline sharply, hitting the day?s low of 19004. However, the Sensex recovered to close flat. 

The Sensex shut shop at 19196, down by 28 points and the Nifty fell by 9 points to close at 5754.
