The domestic benchmark indices ended on a mixed note on Thursday as elevated crude prices and the standoff between US and Iran over Strait of Hormuz dampened investor sentiment.

"Indian benchmark indices opened on a flat note but remained under pressure throughout the session, with the benchmark trading below key levels. The weekly Sensex expiry kept volatility elevated and resulted in choppy, range-bound price action, with the indices lacking a clear directional move. Selective buying in broader market stocks, however, helped limit the downside," Bajaj Broking Research said.
