Indian equity benchmarks ended mixed as investors weighed a possible weaker outcome of September quarter earnings.
The S&P SBE Sensex closed 0.22 percent lower at 36,644.42 while the NSE Nifty 50 ended little changed at 10,847.90. The broader markets represented by the NSE Nifty 500 Index closed 0.15 percent higher.
The markets are expected to be volatile and in a very tight range in the near term, Joindre Capital Services’ Head of Research Avinash Gorakshakar said.
“The investors are waiting for the September quarter earnings and fear that it may not keep up the expectations, particularly in the auto sector considering weak sales. The earnings will also guide the direction for the markets along with the global developments such as the developments in U.S.-China trade war,” Gorakshakar told BloombergQuint in an interaction.
Commenting on the 50-stock gauge, Gorakshakar said that the index may not touch 11,200 levels in the near term.
The market breadth, however, was tilted in favour of buyers. About 1,129 stocks advanced and 631 shares declined on National Stock Exchange.
Six out of 11 sectoral gauges compiled by NSE ended lower, led by the NSE Nifty Realty Index’s 1.8 percent fall. On the flipside, the NSE Nifty Metal Index was the top sectoral gainer, up 2.6 percent.

The markets will witness a turnaround only after foreign portfolio investors turn substantial buyers, according to Dimensions Corporate Finance Services’ Managing Director Ajay Srivastava.
“The markets will not witness a turnaround by any upcoming government policies.

That will give confidence to rebalance portfolio,” he added.
Srivastava suggested investors to have a large-cap stock in the sectors they are interested and was cautious of mid- and small-cap stocks.
“Mid and small caps are not looking good fundamentally and economically. Investors need to stick to large caps as they are the only ones which will grow,” he said.
