Markets ended flat amid a volatile trading session paring gains in late trades as investors turned cautious after foreign institutional investors emerged as net sellers in equities, a day earlier.
Benchmark indices closed on a weak note for a third consecutive day with benchmark Nifty closing below the psychological level of 6,000, signaling a weak trend going ahead.
The 30-share Sensex closed at 20,217 down almost 12 points or 0.06% and the 50-share Nifty index closed almost 4 points lower at 5,995 levels.
