Post Session Market

The Indian market closed in the negative territory as the profit booking took a lead in a volatile trading session. The market was unable to sustain at higher level after a firm start and fell to pare all its initial gains. A holiday yesterday due to the celebration of Maharastra Day tomorrow and the US Federal Reserve Policy meeting scheduled to be held later on the day led the investors to take calculated steps to clear up their positions.
