Stock markets close flat; Eternal jumps nearly 11%

Benchmark stock indices Sensex and Nifty closed almost unchanged in a volatile trade Tuesday as gains in quick commerce and private banking shares were offset by losses in oil & gas and IT shares.

The 30-share BSE Sensex ended 13.53 points or 0.02 per cent down at 82,186.81. 50-share NSE Nifty dipped 29.80 points or 0.12 per cent to settle at 25,060.90.

Lack of clarity over US-India trade deal ahead of August 1 deadline and profit booking by Flls hit the market sentiment, experts said.
