Markets shed nearly a percent in a range-bound session on Wednesday. Markets opened with an uptick despite weak global cues but failed to make any significant progress in the day while sharp profit-taking in the last hour of the trade pushed the markets in the red. Unsupportive global cues as well as muted domestic factors were weighing on investors' sentiments. The BSE Sensex ended at 36,329.01, down 345.51 points or 0.94%. The Nifty closed at 10,705.75, down 93.90 points or 0.87%.
