Equity benchmarks ended the session on a marginally higher note, but not before witnessing volatile moves. The Nifty managed to hold on to 10,900-mark.

Weakness was visible among pharmaceuticals and PSU banks, while other sectors ended the day in the green. The Nifty IT index was the big gainer as a weaker rupee boosted IT stocks.

The day began on a steady note, amid mixed global cues. However, selling soon gripped the market, dragged by a fall in heavyweight such as Sun Pharma and RIL, among others.

However, bulls tried to take control back in the last hour and managed to just crawl to the finishing line.
