Indian equity benchmarks continued to trade flat in morning deals, amid selling in Utilities, Realty and Auto counters. Traders remained on sidelines ahead of the India’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation and Index of Industrial Production (IIP) data.
Some concern came with a private report that India’s retail inflation, based on the Consumer Price Index, likely rose to 5.1% in September from 3.65% in August, primarily due to an unfavourable base effect. In September 2023, CPI inflation was at 5.02%.
Besides, exchange data showed Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹4,926.61 crore on Thursday.
On the sectoral front, stocks related to the airline sector remained on watch as Credit rating agency ICRA’s report stated that the overall air cargo volumes likely to witness healthy growth of around 9-11% YoY to around 3.6-3.7 million tonnes in FY2025, supported by 11%-13% expansion in international and 4%-6% growth in domestic cargo.
On the global front, Asian markets are trading mostly in the green despite the broadly negative cues from Wall Street overnight. Data showing the bigger-than-expected increase in US consumer prices further offset optimism that the US Fed will continue to aggressively lower interest rates in the coming months.
