Closing Summary- Market Synopsis- 19 December, 2011

The Indian stock markets kicked off the new trading week on a negative note. Concerns about the worsening macro-economic backdrop - both domestic and global - kept the market participants on tenterhooks throughout the day. However, the Nifty recovered from the session low after hitting an intra-day low of 4556 and the Sensex recovered after hitting a low of 15190. Further, the midcap and the small-cap counters were seen deep in red, as both closed negative by over two percentage points.
