Stock market Today: Volatile session ends with a flat close. The Sensex remained almost flat on a volatile day as traders found no clear direction. The Sensex shed 135 points to close at 75,183, while the Nifty dropped 4 points to 23,654. The day’s activity was driven by sectoral moves rather than headline indices. Providing support, realty, healthcare, and a few auto stocks helped cushion a weak session for financials, IT, and FMCG stocks, which faced headwinds throughout the day. Cushioning these developments, broader markets remained robust, with smallcap stocks leading the way. Concurrently, India VIX dropped over 3 percent, indicating that volatility is gradually easing despite intraday swings across sectors.
