Resistance At Higher Levels

After trading at the highest point of the day for most part of the session, the markets saw a sharp correction from higher levels but managed to end in the green.

The Nifty 50 ended over 100 points of the day's high and dealers said that this was due to some market at close basket selling at a leading FII desk. Flows were also mixed on Thursday but with a negative bias.

Broader markets continued to outperform with the BSE Smallcap index ending at a record high.
