 "Provisional: Market ends down post volatile session")
It was a volatile session for markets today which saw key benchmark indices moving in a broad range. Even the broader markets which survived the last two days of profit booking were seen coming selling pressure. Markets erased its earlier gains after rating agency Standard & Poor's on Thursday said it may cut India's sovereign rating to below investment grade should the next government fail to provide a credible plan to reverse the country's low economic growth.
