Global cues have remained mixed as US debt ceiling negotiations are ongoing, keeping investors cautious. On the domestic front, a healthy result season and consistent FII buying have been providing support to the market. The overall trend remains positive, however, some consolidation may not be ruled out given the sharp-up move in the last few weeks."On Tuesday, key benchmark index BSE Sensex declined 413.24 points to settle at 61,932.47 even after beginning the trade on a firm note.
