Equities end the session on a record high note, Nifty above 11,550

Selling in banks after an initial rally dragged the indices lower from their high points. Along with it, weakness was visible in sectors such as metals and FMCG

The day started with the market hitting fresh highs of 11,581 on the Nifty, while the Sensex hit 38,402.96 in the morning. But the selloff immediately dragged them lower and steadied it around flat lines through the day. Experts believe that investors could also be waiting for cues from US-China trade meeting lined up on Wednesday along with any other global cues.

The market will be shut tomorrow on account of Bakri Id.
