The markets reversed direction as the banking and financial services sectors erased early gains in the first half of the session, however buying in information technology and metal stocks in afternoon deals pushed the markets to the positive zone. Infosys shares rose as much as 5.17 per cent during the session, before ending with a gain of 4.19 per cent at Rs 815.70 apiece on the BSE, ahead of the release of quarterly earnings by the IT major.
