Indian Equities Markets Provisionally End Flat
By IANS
MUMBAI: The Indian equities markets provisionally closed on a flat note on Wednesday, as negative global cues, disappointing factory output data for July and profit booking dented investors' sentiments.
Both the key indices managed to end the day's trade -- slightly in the green, as value buying at lower levels and short covering aided in recovery.
The wider 51-scrip Nifty of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) edged up by 11 points or 0.13 pct to 8,726.60 points.
The barometer 30-scrip sensitive index (Sensex) of the BSE, which opened at 28,345.49 points, provisionally closed at 28,372.23 points (at 3.30 p.m.) -- up 18.69 points or 0.07 pct from its previous close at 28,353.54 points.
The Sensex touched a high of 28,416.41 points and a low of 28,259.38 points during the intra-day trade.
However, the BSE market breadth was tilted in favour of the bulls -- with 1,754 advances and 961 declines.
