Indian equity benchmarks erased earlier gains to end on a flattish note, with a negative bias on Wednesday as caution continued to weigh on sentiment among Dalal Street investors as they seek a clearer picture of the impact of the government’s demonetisation move on Asia’s third biggest economy, curbing risk taking appetite.

While a drop in consumer inflation to a 14-month low at 4.2 per cent in October 2016 raised hopes of an interest rate cut by the RBI in the near-term, some analysts warned that a looming US Fed interest rate hike in December could push the Indian central bank to refrain from further softening of monetary policy until February, keeping traders on the backfoot.

Consumer Durables and Health Care declined 1.97 per cent and 1.34 per cent, respectively.
