New Delhi, May 15 -- Markets remained volatile on May 14, with early gains quickly erased due to profit booking and persistent caution around geopolitical tensions. While the Nifty and Sensex ended marginally higher, sentiment was subdued as banking stocks dragged, even as IT, media, metal, and realty provided support at lower levels.

The Sensex closed 182 points higher at 81,330.56, while the Nifty added 88 points to end at 24,666.90. Mixed global cues and ongoing uncertainty continue to weigh on investor confidence. Domestic macro signals offer some relief, but it remains to be seen whether they can support the market in the coming days.
