India’s BSE Sensex closed virtually unchanged at 76,944 on Tuesday, as traders weighed ongoing foreign fund outflows, geopolitical and global inflation concerns against robust domestic economic data. Oil prices continued to advance amid renewed fighting between the US and Iran, raising concerns over inflation and interest rates. Meanwhile, India's manufacturing sector expansion cooled slightly in August, while the economy beat estimates to grow 7.8% in the quarter through June, ahead of the RBI's projection of 7%. Selling pressure in banking, autos and healthcare stocks was partly offset by gains in techs and selected heavyweights. Maruti Suzuki shares fell more than 4%, making its the worst performer, after the automaker reported August sales, with exports declining over 7% year-on-year.SBIN, IndiGo, Bajaj Finserv, M&M and Axis Bank also faced pressure, falling between 1.8%-1.5%. On the flip side, shares of ITC (4%), HCL Tech (3.2%), Infosys (2.4%) and Bharti Airtel (2.3%) stood out.
