HDFC, HDFC Bank, Asian Paints, Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services were among the top movers in the Sensex.
The Indian equity benchmarks edged higher on Wednesday led by gains in HDFC, HDFC Bank, Asian Paints, Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services. However, the upside was capped as Reliance Industries, Hindustan Unilever, Titan and UltraTech Cement were witnessing selling pressure. Meanwhile, Asian share markets stumbled on Wednesday as a bout of risk aversion boosted bonds and the dollar, while investors braced for minutes from the Federal Reserve's last meeting which should underline a hawkish turn in US monetary policy. As of 9:31 am, the Sensex was up 132 points at 52,993 and Nifty 50 index advanced 29 points to 15,847. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan edged down 0.4 per cent, while Japan's Nikkei slipped 0.9 per cent.More Related News
