The December 2013 audit — what every major index and every sector did across the month's 21 sessions, all measured from the 2013-11-29 close to the 2013-12-31 close.
An account of 21 sessions, best to worst:
• Midcap 100 — +5.06%, close 8071.30

• Nifty 50 — +2.07%, close 6304.00
• Sensex — +1.82%, close 21170.68
Of the Nifty's 21 sessions, 10 were up and 11 down. The best day was 2013-12-20 (+1.74%), the worst 2013-12-12 (-1.12%). There were 3.0 points between the Midcap 100 and the Nifty — the broad market was ahead of large caps.
All eight of the eight sectors closed positive — a broad-based month:
• IT — +7.90%
• Media — +6.27%
• Metal — +5.99%
• Realty — +5.94%
• Pharma — +3.85%
• Bank — +2.07%

India VIX ranged between 14.66 and 24.72 during the month and closed at 15.12. The deepest peak-to-trough fall in the Nifty inside the month was -3.5% — so despite the month's net number of +2.07%, a decline of that depth was seen along the way.
