Indian indices
The key benchmark indices closed today's trading session in the negative zone backed by weak domestic and global cues. The broader markets too witnessed lacklustre trade. The Indian equities ended today's trade with losses as investors booked profits at higher levels. Investors remained on the sidelines today ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's policy announcement tomorrow amid fears that the central bank may maintain status-quo and wait until January before cutting interest rates. The BSE Midcap Index was up by 0.59% and BSE Smallcap Index rose by 0.46%.

Movement of the Indian indices for the day:

It was a completely dull day for the Indian equity benchmarks due to lack of local and global cues. The Indian indices opened today's session on a flat note tracking weak Asian cues. Selling pressure across the market also weighed on the sentiments. Further in the afternoon session, weak opening of the European indices disappointed investors. Investors were also cautious ahead of the RBI monetary policy review that is due tomorrow.
