The headline equity indices erased early gains to end marginally lower in a volatile session on Thursday. Tracking positive global cues, the markets opened higher on optimism around a potential US-Iran peace deal and held gains in the first half. However, selling pressure in the latter half wiped out intraday advances, pulling the Nifty 50 below the 24,200 mark.
