Nifty

<div>
	<div>
		
		Benchmark indices ended the day flat amid lack of any major domestic cues. Both the NSE Nifty and BSE Sensex hit record highs last week, raising concerns that factors such as positive earnings and hopes of an improving economy were already factored into prices.</div>
	<br />
	<div>
		Tata Steel contributed most to the gains in Sensex and Nifty as it hit its 52-week high on expectations of strong quarterly results, but broader gains were capped by profit-taking on concerns over valuations.</div>
	<br />
	<div>
		Meanwhile, world stocks advanced on Monday as better-than-expected company earnings and economic data from the United States stole the focus from rising geopolitical tension over North Korea&#39;s nuclear programme.</div>
