Mumbai, Dec 31 (IANS): Key indices of the Indian equities markets witnessed a lacklustre session with negative bias Monday, the last day of 2012, in the absence of buying interest as US lawmakers failed to reach a deal to avert a fiscal crisis.

The Sensex was largely range-bound. It touched a high of 19,491.58 points and low of 19,409.05 points in the intra-day.

The wider 50-scrip S&P CNX Nifty of the National Stock Exchange was trading 0.11 percent or 6.25 points down at 5,902.10 points.

There was selling pressure in FMCG, healthcare and capital goods stocks, while investors showed good buying interest in realty, metal and consumer durables scrips.
