mentioned in Tuesday’s closing report that Nifty, Sensex might log in gains.
The major indices of the Indian stock markets were flat after an initial rally.
On the NSE, there were 737 advances, 979 declines and 341 unchanged. The trends
of the major indices in the course of Wednesday’s trading are given in the
table below:
The
key equity indices traded flat on Wednesday as higher wholesale inflation and
caution during the ongoing assembly polls in five states weighed on the
domestic investor sentiments. Although, crude oil prices eased and rupee
appreciated during the day but positive sentiments eroded as the day
progressed, analysts said. India's annual rate of inflation based on wholesale
prices rose to 5.28% in October from 5.13% in September, the Commerce Ministry
data said. Selling pressure was witnessed in export-oriented stocks like IT
(information technology) and healthcare as the domestic currency appreciated to
Rs72.16 to a US dollar from its previous close of 72.67. In addition the
benchmark Brent Crude registered a steep decline to $65.42 a barrel. However,
the index pivotals -- finance and banking stocks -- traded in the green.
