The Indian equity indices started with a decent gap up at the opening bell but failed to capitalize on the initial gains ,on Thursday.The current market rally has been largely influenced by consistent FII inflows, driven by lower treasury yields and the weakness of the US Dollar. However, the gains in the domestic market were tempered by weak earnings reported by a few heavyweight companies, according to experts.
On the global front, markets remained positive as US inflation eased below 5 percent, providing reassurance to investors that the Fed's rate hike measures have been effective in managing inflation levels, according to recent reports.
At close,the Nifty declined 0.1 percent or 18.10 points to 18,297;and Sensex dropped 35.68 points or 0.06 percent to 61,904.52.
