Markets end volatile trade in red
European and US debt woes led to a cautious trade, with the Sensex closing 55 points down and the Nifty fell 14 points amid volatility
Major headlines

Indian indices
The Indian indices witnessed volatility on the first day of the week and closed the trade in the negative terrain. Possibility of US debt default and endless European debt crisis dampened the mood of investors as well as traders globally. Technology, auto and healthcare stocks led the decline. The key indices ended in red for the second day in a row. It was overall a boring day, with the indices struggling to get direction on either side.

Sensex movements: The Sensex started the trade 30 points higher at 18592. The index gained momentum and touched the day's high of 18623 in early trade. The index became directionless as the session progressed amid lacklustre trade. In mid-afternoon trade, the Sensex hit the day's low of 18470 tracking weakness in the European equities and continuous selling in technology and auto stocks. The Sensex fell 55 points to close at 18507 and the Nifty settled 14 points lower at 5567.

Market sentiment
The market breadth stood positive. Of the 3,012 shares traded on the BSE, 1,546 shares advanced whereas 1,322 shares declined and 144 shares remained unchanged.
