BSE: Top losers and gainers

Markets ended flat, amid a volatile trading session on Monday, as gains in TCS and metal shares helped offset most of the losses from financials and index heavyweight Reliance Industries.

The 30-share Sensex ended down 21 points at 19,895 after hitting a high of 19,921 and a low of 19,648 and the 50-share Nifty ended down 1 point at 5,906 after hitting a high of 5,912 and a low of 5,826.

Meanwhile, global stocks continue to remain weak as the stand-off between US lawmakers over the budget and rising worries of an agreement over increase in borrowing limits to avoid debt default weighed on investor sentiment.
