New Delhi, Aug. 10 -- The Indian stock market remained in a tight range during Monday's trade, 10 August, as uncertainty over a potential peace deal in the Middle East kept crude oil prices higher for the fourth straight day. However, softer-than-expected US jobs data tempered concerns over near-term rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve.

The Nifty 50 gained marginally by 0.05% to close at 24,583, while the Sensex declined 0.06% to settle at 78,542. The broader markets ended on a mixed note, with the Nifty Midcap 100 rising 0.62%, while the Nifty Smallcap 100 slipped 0.27%.

Among the sectoral indices, Nifty PSU Bank, Oil and Gas, Pharma, and FMCG witnessed heavy selling, while Realty, Private Bank, and Metal stocks ended in the green.
