The key domestic indices ended almost flat on Wednesday, as gains in select sectors were offset by caution ahead of global triggers. The market opened on a positive note, with the Nifty reclaiming the 26,000 mark in early trade. However, momentum faded as the session progressed, and the index moved in a narrow range for the remainder of the day as investors refrained from aggressive bets ahead of Wednesdays US jobs report. The Nifty eventually settled above the 25,950 mark. Sectorally, auto, PSU bank and pharma stocks witnessed buying interest, while IT and private bank shares came under pressure.
