Nudged by the bulls, Indian markets ended marginally higher on the August F&O expiry day. The S&P BSE Sensex closed at 39,113, up 39 points while the Nifty ended 9 points higher at 11,559 after a touch-and-go moment with 11,600.

Tracking muted global cues, markets, which closed in the green for a fifth consecutive session on August 27, failed to hold on to gains and closed flat but with a positive bias. The market was also nervous ahead of the Jackson Hole meeting and US-China trade tensions.
