Market Close Highlights: Indices off day's highs: Sensex gains 150 pts, Nifty ends at 23,322; mid, smallcaps shine

Market Closing Bell: Indian equity benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty50, surged on Wednesday, led by heavyweights. However, at the fag end of the session, indices came off their day's high and closed with mild gains. Sensex ended at 76,606.57, up 149.98 points, while Nifty ended at 23,322.95, up 0.25%.

The Indian rupee ended flat at 83.54 per US dollar after likely RBI intervention averted a fall to an all-time low.

Globally, investors are cautiously awaiting US CPI data and the US Fed policy outcome, said Siddhartha Khemka, head of retail research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd. "US Fed commentary could provide direction to the market. So far, investors are baking in one rate cut towards the end of the year, so any deviation from that could drive the market on either side," Khemka added.

Asian markets traded on a mixed note. The US stock market also ended mixed on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hitting record closing highs for the second consecutive day ahead of consumer prices data and a policy announcement from the Federal Reserve. 

Back home, all eyes will be on the CPI inflation and factory output data to be released post-market hours today. India's retail inflation was likely steady at 4.8% in May, compared to 4.83% the previous month, as a sequential rise in food prices was offset by low core inflation, a median estimate of 15 economists polled by Mint showed.
