Sensex Today: On Thursday, the Nifty and Sensex, key stock market indices in India, began trading without much change. This was in response to the Federal Reserve’s recent policy minutes, which showed concern over recent inflation figures, leading to diminished expectations for a prompt interest rate reduction. The benchmark S&P BSE Sensex gained 5 points, or 0.01 per cent, to quote at 74,226 levels in early deals. The Nifty50, on the other hand, was trading at 22,602, up 4 points or 0.02 per cent.
