The domestic stock markets ended in the red for the fourth consecutive day, amid volatility, due to selling pressure in heavyweights such as ITC, NTPC and Infosys. The BSE Sensex oscillated in a broad range of nearly 900 points between an intra-day low of 60,551 and a high of 61,420 before ending the session at 60,821.50, lower by 101 points or 0.17 per cent and the NSE Nifty ended at 18,114.90, down 63 points or 0.35 per cent. The broader markets also ended in the red, with the BSE Midcap index shedding 1.1 per cent and the BSE Smallcap index losing 1.2 per cent.The benchmark indices had a gap-up opening on the back of positive global cues. But in a mirror image of the previous session, the markets were unable to sustain their early gains.
