The benchmark indices pared gains to end flat, led by losses in Dr Reddy's, Bharti Airtel, Tata Motors and TCS. However, the Nifty managed to settle the July series of derivatives expiry above 10,000 after the index surged past 10,100-mark in intraday trade.
Overseas, European markets were trading positive, while Asian markets hit their highest in nearly a decade after the US Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged on Wednesday and said it expected to start winding down its massive holdings of bonds "relatively soon" in a sign of confidence in the US economy.

Optimism on earnings growth and dovish tone by US Fed after keeping the key rates on hold energized the market. But volatility emerged towards close on account of expiry and concerns over valuation which influenced investors to book profit. On the other hand, better than expected results from blue-chips will attract investors to large caps as compared to small and mid caps.
