At 11.30 am on Thursday, the headline equity indices, i.e. Sensex and Nifty 50 were trading flat, owing to weak global cues.    

The shares in Asia Pacific markets are trading lower after Wall Street ended its five-day winning rally as Federal Reserve again warned that it will monitor the inflation data and market conditions closely in order to decide the next pace of tightening despite the cooling of inflation levels in the month of July.   

At noon on Wednesday, the core equity indices i.e., Sensex and Nifty 50 fell sharply amidst weak global cues. Asian markets gained as the inflation data released by the Chinese Government was not as bad as expected. This proved to be a relief for the Asian markets, which were trading higher by 1 per cent.
