Headline indices Sensex and Nifty ended in the red for the fifth consecutive session amid lacklustre global cues.

The Sensex closed 536 points, or 1.13 percent, lower at 46,874.36 and the Nifty settled 150 points, or 1.07 percent, down at 13,817.55.

"Market turned cautious after the unidirectional upside of the last 10 months due to ambiguity ahead the Budget and profit-booking in the global markets due to over-enthusiasm," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.

"Global risk parameters increased despite the US Fed maintaining its supportive policy, due to high speculation in the equity market and likely drop in fiscal and monetary liquidity in the future," said Nair.
