Sensex Today: Indian equity benchmark indices turned volatile on Wednesday after opening marginally higher, as mixed moves in banking stocks weighed on sentiment. Following RBI intervention, the Indian rupee

At 10:00 am, the BSE Sensex erased early gains and was trading flat near the 84,675 mark. During the session, the benchmark touched an intraday low of 84,639 and a high of 84,889. The Nifty was hovering around 25,860.

Among Sensex constituents, SBI, Bajaj Finance, Eternal and Axis Bank were the top gainers, rising about 1% each, while ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank featured among the key laggards.

In the broader market, both the BSE MidCap and SmallCap indices slipped into negative territory, declining around 0.2% each.

In commodities, MCX Silver March futures scaled fresh record highs near Rs 2,05,665. The Indian rupee, which opened at 91.07 against the US dollar, soon witnessed a sharp recovery and was trading around 90.05 per dollar later in the day.
