MUMBAI (Reuters) – The BSE Sensex came off two-week highs to end flat on Wednesday as Reliance Industries(RELI.NS: Quote, Profile, Research) fell after posting quarterly revenues that missed analyst estimates and after software services exporters fell on concerns about potentially higher U.S. visa costs.

A fall in European stocks as investors switched to stronger markets in the United States and Asia, where economic growth prospects are brighter due to massive central bank stimulus, also pulled down local shares.

MUMBAI (Reuters) – The BSE Sensex gained the most in nearly seven months on Tuesday, breaching a key technical resistance, as rate sensitive stocks like autos and banks rose on expectations the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will cut rates next month on a continued slump in global commodity prices.

A slump in global gold and crude prices will provide elbow-room to the RBI to lower rates for the third time this year as it will help ease some concerns on India’s current account gap.
