Indian equity markets traded on a flat-to-negative note during mid-afternoon trade on Thursday as selling pressure was witnessed in oil and gas, metal and healthcare stocks. According to market observers, investors remained cautious ahead of assembly elections' exit poll outcome. Besides, investors were spooked ahead of the European Central Bank (ECB) monetary policy review later in the evening and the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meet next week.

The BSE market breadth was marginally tilted in favour of the bears -- with 1,393 declines and 1,219 advances. CNX Nifty traded with sideways sentiments due to profit-booking. Correction in USD/INR futures prices from higher levels provided support to the Indian equity market at current levels. IT (information technology) sector stocks faced resistance at higher levels, while banking, pharma, auto, oil-gas, FMCG (fast moving consumer goods) and power sector stocks traded with bearish sentiments due to profit booking.
