Market Wrap, June 15: Here's all that happened in the markets today

Benchmark indices ended with over 1.5 per cent cut on Monday, on weak global cues and a rapid rise in Covid-19 cases.

NSE's Nifty ended at 9,813.70, down 159 points or 1.6 per cent. India VIX surged over 6 per cent to 32.71 levels. 

The broader market, however, fared better than the frontline indices. The S&P BSE SmallCap index ended unchanged at 11,844.85 while the S&P BSE MidCap index lost over a per cent to 12,455 levels.
