On Monday, the domestic equity markets commenced the week on a positive note and ended with gains of nearly one per cent. Supportive global cues coupled with buying across sectors pushed the benchmarks to end higher. 

For the second straight trading session, the bulls took charge over the benchmark indices as declining commodity prices lowered inflationary concerns. 

Sensex opened in red on Wednesday. At 11.08 am, it was seen trading 53 points down at the 52,636 level.

Oil and gas, Auto, and Bank stocks fell, while pharma index ended the day in the green.

On the last day of May 2022, Indian equity markets closed the trading session in negative territory. Financial and IT shares pulled the indices lower whereas gains in metal shares provided some support. Reality and media indices traded with positive momentum and banking and energy stocks witnessed profit booking at higher levels. 

At noon on Wednesday, the core equity indices i.e., Sensex and Nifty 50 fell sharply amidst weak global cues. Asian markets gained as the inflation data released by the Chinese Government was not as bad as expected. This proved to be a relief for the Asian markets, which were trading higher by 1 per cent.
