Benchmark indices, NIFTY and SENSEX ended flat in a subdued session on Tuesday, September 3.

NIFTY50 eked out gains to close higher for a record 14th straight day as banking and insurance stocks advanced. The key index settled flat at 25,279, up 1.15 points.

BSE SENSEX ended its 10-day rising streak and closed marginally down by 4.4 points, or 0.01%, at 82,555, as profit-taking in metal, oil and pharma shares offset gains from the banking sector.

The key indices moved in a range in the day trade, gyrating between gains and losses amid weak global trends. NIFTY moved between a high of 25,321.70 and a low of 25,235.80 during the day. On the other hand, SENSEX oscillated between the day’s low of 82,400 and an intraday high of 82,675.

Global markets mostly traded lower as investors awaited a key report on US employment to be released later in the week.

In the broader market, the NIFTY Midcap indices closed higher by 0.25%, while the NIFTY SmallCap outperformed by rising 0.5%.

Among sectoral indices, the NIFTY consumer durables index gained the most by 1.31%, followed by financial services by 0.82% and NIFTY Bank by 0.49%.
