Indian equity benchmark indices ended Tuesday’s session on a cautious note, as markets navigated a volatile yet range-bound trading day. The session was influenced by monthly derivatives expiry and Nifty index rebalancing activity, which restricted momentum and kept markets directionless for most of the day.
Market sentiment remained guarded amid the absence of strong global cues. In addition, continued selling pressure from the foreign institutional investor desk weighed on overall market direction. As a result, benchmark indices closed marginally lower, reflecting a lack of clear directional conviction.
At the close of trade, the Sensex slipped 20.46 points, or 0.02 percent, to settle at 84,675.08.
The Nifty declined by 3.25 points, or 0.01 percent, ending the session at 25,938.85.
Throughout the day, indices remained confined to a narrow range, highlighting subdued risk appetite and limited investor participation.
On the sectoral front, select pockets offered relative support to the benchmarks. Nifty Metal, Auto, and PSU Bank stocks contributed positively and helped limit the downside. However, this support was offset by profit booking in Realty, Consumer Durables, and IT stocks, which capped any meaningful upside and kept indices under pressure.

Among individual stocks, Bajaj Auto emerged as one of the top performers of the session, gaining around 2.32 percent. On the downside, Eternal witnessed the sharpest decline, falling by 2.21 percent.
The broader market mirrored the cautious tone seen in frontline indices. The Nifty Midcap index closed lower by 0.15 percent, while the Nifty Smallcap index underperformed, declining by 0.28 percent, indicating continued weakness beyond large-cap stocks.
