NEW DELHI: Equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty ended flat on Tuesday ahead of June quarter earnings of IT major Tata Consultancy Services (TCS).
As Budget blues take its toll on stocks, investors are hoping for some relief from June quarter earnings. The rupee's tepid rise against the US dollar also gave a leg up to market sentiment.
Global cues remained lacklustre as stronger jobs data in the US dented hopes of an aggressive rate cut by the US Fed.
Sensex ended 10 points higher at 38,730, while Nifty settled 3 points down at 11,555.
