Mumbai, July 13 -- The domestic benchmark indices ended near the flat line with positive bias on Monday, as investors shrugged off concerns over the escalating US-Iran conflict and turned their attention to stock-specific action and the ongoing first-quarter earnings season. After opening lower on heightened geopolitical concerns, the market recovered through the session to end near the flat line. Nifty ended above 24,200 level.

Going ahead, investors will closely monitor further developments in the US-Iran conflict, movements in crude oil prices, the ongoing Q1 earnings season, corporate business updates, and the progress of the southwest monsoon for cues on the market's near-term direction.
