The domestic benchmark indices ended on a mixed note on Thursday amid easing in crude oil prices, global uncertainties and US Federal Reserve rate hike.

"Indian benchmark indices remained in a range throughout the session, with volatility elevated amid the weekly Sensex expiry. Investors continued to digest the previous day's US Federal Reserve rate decision, while persistent geopolitical concerns and elevated crude oil prices remained key overhangs on market sentiment. Despite the volatility, the Nifty managed to hold a positive bias, while the Sensex ended marginally lower," Pabitro Mukherjee, Deputy Vice President Research, Bajaj Broking said.
