It was a sedate start to the week. The key benchmark indices witnessed a rangebound trade amid volatility and closed on a flat note with a positive bias.

Among the largecap space, Suzlon Energy, Hero Honda, ITC, Jaiprakash Associates and DLF ended with handsome gains of 2-3%. While, Punjab National Bank, Cipla, Ranbaxy Laboratories, Wipro and Housing Development Finance Corporation lost in the range of 2-3%. Tata Motors, Tata Steel and State Bank of India were most active securities.

The Sensex began the session higher by 127 points at 18135. Index traded rangebound all throughout the morning session and remained in the green zone. In the afternoon session, the Sensex started to build gains and hit the day?s high of 18181. However in last hour of the trade, the index witnessed volatility and hit the day?s low of 17977.
