Indian equities consolidated to end marginally lower, after rising over 3% in previous two trading sessions; Sensex ended the day 0.36% lower to 15,883 whereas Nifty closed 0.33% in red to 4750.

Index heavyweight Reliance Industries (RIL) edged lower in volatile trade. On the global front, market men were still reluctant as concerns over the euro zone's huge refinancing needs persist ahead of German and Portugal’s bond auction but some encouraging comments and actions from Prime Ministers Mario Monti in Italy and Mariano Rajoy in Spain build the hopes. Back home, the market trimmed losses after hitting fresh intraday low in afternoon trade. Volatility was the order of the day as market trimmed gains after surging to hit their highest level in more than one week in mid-afternoon trade. The market slipped into the red once again later.

SAIL, Hindalco, SesaGoa, Tata Steel and Sterlite from Metal pack were trading in green giving the much needed support.
