Closing Market Summary:
The Indian benchmarks ended on a weaker note on March 15, 2013, when in the second half they lost the earlier gained ground. After opening flat, they moved slightly up but could not sustain under continuous selling pressure. Banking stocks were still bearing the brunt of Cobrapost money laundering expose.

The midcap index and the small cap index closed in red with the loss of nearly two-third of a percentage point and eight-tenth of a percentage point. On the sectoral front, the indices closed mixed. Consumer Durables Index closed as the major gainer with the gains of nearly two and half percentage point. This was followed by IT Index which closed with the gain of quarter of a percentage point. On the other hand Realty Index was the biggest looser with the loss of more than two and three-forth of a percentage point.
Further, the market breadth closed negative as one stock was seen advancing against two declining stocks.
