Within sectors, Nifty Realty, up 1.4 per cent, is the top gainer, whereas Nifty Pharma, down 0.9 per cent, is the top loser.

Over the past few days the Nifty futures has been oscillating in the range of 19,750 and 19,900. Currently trading near the upper band of the range, the likelihood of a decline is high.

On the other hand, if Nifty futures break out of 19,900, it can rally to 20,000. A rally beyond 20,000 is unlikely today.
