MUMBAI (Reuters) - Indian stocks see-sawed between positive and negative territory on Wednesday as investors preferred to stay on the sidelines a day ahead of the December derivatives contracts expiry.
Caution continued to weigh on sentiment with traders expected to churn positions as the January futures and options series begins on Friday.
Investors are now looking towards the second week of January for signs of a recovery in corporate balance sheets.
"Second week of Jan, since you have earnings season unfolding, you'll see some meaningful volumes happening as well," Gaurang Shah, vice president at Geojit BNP Paribas said.
The broader NSE Nifty was trading 0.02 percent higher at 0753 GMT while the benchmark BSE Sensex slipped marginally to trade 0.01 percent lower.
