Stock Market LIVE Updates
: Indian equity benchmarks BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty50 started Tuesday’s session in the red, retreating from nearly one-month highs, as Dalal Street tracked a lacklustre trend across Asia following a holiday on Wall Street. Financial and IT shares were the biggest drags on the headline indices, though gains in auto shares lent some support. Broader markets, however, managed to cross the flatline, with the Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 indices edging up 0.2 percent each in early deals. Globally, investors however remained optimistic on bets of a possible slowdown in US monetary tightening and easing of the pandemic-related restrictions in China. All eyes are now on India’s official GDP data for the January-March period due later in the day.
