Indian stock market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, were trading flat with a negative bias on Wednesday after witnessing a decent pullback rally in the previous two sessions. Bank Nifty today was down half a percent after a sharp 2% rally on Tuesday.
Bank Nifty traded around a critical level of 52,000, which analysts believe to be an important resistance level.
