Sensex ends flat; RIL falls, Infosys gains

Mumbai: BSE Sensex provisionally ended flat on Thursday, as investors booked profits on Reliance Industries due to worries about lower refining margins, though software service exporters such as Infosys gained on hopes for more US monetary stimulus.

Reliance shares fell 1.73 per cent, ending down for a fourth consecutive session, although the energy conglomerate is still up nearly 7 per cent for the month.

Infosys rose 1.9 after minutes from the Federal Reserve meeting suggest the US central bank is moving towards monetary stimulus measures.

The BSE Sensex provisionally rose 0.05 per cent, while the Nifty added 0.05 per cent.
