Market On Monday:

In a highly volatile session, the equity markets ended on a negative note on June 19 amid weak global market and selling in most of the sectors.

At close, the Sensex was down 216.28 points or 0.34 percent at 63,168.30, and the Nifty was down 70.50 points or 0.37 percent at 18,755.50.

Despite weak global cues, the market started on a positive note and inched closer to the record high levels, but profit booking erased all the opening gains and finished the session near the day's low.

Adani Enterprises, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Hero MotoCorp, Axis Bank and Adani Ports were among the biggest losers on the Nifty, while gainers included HDFC Life, Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Finserv, Tech Mahindra and TCS.

Among sectors, auto, bank, realty, power, realty and FMCG were down 0.5 percent each, while the PSU bank index rose 1 percent and the Information Technology index added 0.4 percent.

The BSE midcap and smallcap indices ended on a flat note.
