Closing Summary- Market Synopsis- 23 March, 2012

The mood wasn't upbeat at the start of trade today, following the previous day's big crash. However, the sentiment gradually improved as the session progressed. As usual, the big movements came in after the mid-afternoon trade. The main indices hit day's high around the same time before surrendering some gains towards the close of the trade. This led the midcap and the small-cap counters to close positive by nearly half a percentage point each.
