Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services said, “Ahead of the FED chair Powell's speech, the Indian indices oscillated around the flat trajectory and mixed global market sentiments further catalysed this scenario. Meanwhile, investors are exercising caution and awaiting Powell's signals for more insights on the interest rate path. Most of the sectoral indices remained in red; in contrast, the auto sector excelled as the industry is preparing for festive season demand with multiple launches.”
