Benchmark indexes were range-bound amid cautious trade on Thursday

Domestic stock markets moved in a tight range amid cautious trade on Thursday, a day after the Reserve Bank of India announced its fourth rate cut so far this year but lowered its growth projection for financial year 2019-20. The S&P BSE Sensex jumped more than 200 points to hit 36,900 in morning deals, but changed direction at least thrice during the session to touch an intraday low of 36,655.41. The broader NSE Nifty benchmark moved in a range of 72.75 points during the session, between 10,915.70 and 10,842.95 at the day's strongest and weakest points respectively, as against its previous close of 10,855.50.

Analysts say that with the RBI policy review now behind, the markets may trade sideways in the near term before some recovery can be expected.
