Healthy buying by foreign and domestic investors on the back of as the US Fed announcement of maintaining a near zero percent interest rates even after the end of its bond-buying programme ends helped markets to remain range bound to 27,000-point mark in the week ended Sep 19.

The over positive sentiment coupled with expectations of further reforms helped the Indian equities markets to remain high.

"Markets are in a consolidation mode with benchmarks remaining almost flat during the week. However, markets have sustained at near all-time highs, which reflects the strength of the market," said Dipen Shah, head- private client group research, Kotak Securities.

"There was relief on the US Fed not giving any indications of an early increase in interest rates. In these times, when market sentiment is strong and small and midcaps are making new highs, our advice to investors would be to remain discrete and look to stay invested in quality companies with good management track record."
