Closing Summary- Market Synopsis- 22 March, 2012

Having witnessed a volatile session, the key indices ended the day in the negative terrain. The fall came as European markets slid after German's Manufacturing PMI fell to four-month low at 48.1 in March. The Sensex closed at 17196, down 405 points while the Nifty shut at 5228, down 136 points. The fall around the bourses was more than two percent. The broader indices too failed to hold on the early session gains and made its way into the negative.
