Sensex Today | Stock Market Highlights: The domestic market slipped off record highs on Monday as profit-taking wiped out early gains, leaving the benchmark indices to end flat.

Aviation major IndiGo was among the top Nifty losers, weighed down by a weaker rupee and a hike in aviation turbine fuel prices.
Among notable movers, IEX climbed 5%, recovering Friday’s losses as investors assessed recent observations by the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity. IT stocks inched higher on the back of the rupee’s decline against the dollar, with Cyient and KPIT Technologies featuring among the top gainers.
Paytm and Kfin Technologies added about 4% each after upbeat brokerage commentary, while metal counters gained as global prices firmed up. Hindustan Zinc rose 3%, and NMDC advanced 2% ahead of its monthly operational updates.
