Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty ended flat with marginal gains on Monday amid uncertainty over US-Iran deal. The index made a flat-to-positive start but failed to hold its gains and slipped below the neutral line in early deals amid rising crude oil prices in the international market. However, the index recovered all its losses and traded in positive territory for most of the session as traders took some support with Economic Affairs Secretary Anuradha Thakur’s statement that private sector investment is witnessing steady and sustained growth, supported by the government’s continued focus on capital expenditure. Further, support came as foreign institutional investors turned net buyers on August 07, they bought Indian equities worth Rs 480.24 crore. However, in the last leg of the session, the index turned volatile but eventually managed to end slightly above the neutral line.
