The Indian markets ended lower on Monday amid weak global cues. The current volatility in the market is fanned by US inflation data, start of Q4 results season and upcoming ECB meeting. Benchmarks Nifty50 and the S&P BSE Sensex corrected 0.6% and 0.8% to settle at 17,674.95 and 58,964.57 respectively as weak global cues weighed on the domestic equity market. Nifty midcap and small cap indices, however, outperformed benchmarks on Monday as the former ended with nearly 0.4% gains and the latter settled flat with marginal cuts of 0.6%.
