Indian markets had a fairly weak and volatile session today.

The Nifty 50 ended in the red, slipping around key levels as selling pressure persisted through the day. Bank Nifty underperformed, dragged down by profit booking in heavyweight banking stocks.

What stood out was the lack of clear direction — the market tried to recover in between but couldn’t sustain momentum. Weak global cues, continued FII selling, and cautious sentiment ahead of key economic triggers kept buyers on the sidelines.

Sector-wise, IT and Pharma showed some resilience, acting as defensive pockets, while Banking, Financials, and Auto remained under pressure.

Overall, it was one of those sessions where the market looked undecided — not a sharp fall, but enough weakness to keep traders cautious going into the next trading day.
