Sensex, Nifty End Choppy Session Little Changed

(RTTNews) - Indian shares ended a choppy session little changed on Wednesday as investors reacted to hawkish Fed comments and clung to hopes for a Middle East ceasefire deal.

Urgent ceasefire talks are being held in Cairo, but Hamas have warned there will be no negotiations if Israel's operation in Rafah continues.

The benchmark S&P BSE Sensex ended the session down 45.46 points, or 0.06 percent, at 74,466.39 after a choppy session. The broader NSE Nifty index closed virtually unchanged at 22,302.50.
