LIVE market updates: Early indications suggest the benchmark indices could continue to hover at record-high levels on Wednesday although gains will be limited amid mixed cues from global peers.
The passage of the infrastructure bill by the US Senate will propel positive momentum in the market but concerns on the US Fed taper talk, virus and inflation front linger. That said, with the earnings season underway, stock-specific action will remain high which could also sway market moves. At 7.45 am, SGX Nifty was trading 16 points higher at 16,293.
