Sensex, Nifty edge higher in early trade

Indian markets opened on a flat note on Wednesday, with the Sensex and Nifty edging higher in early trade amid mixed global signals.

The cautious start came a day after the Nifty closed September with its worst monthly fall in over six years, down 3.4 per cent for the month. Investors remained watchful of foreign fund flows and currency moves.
Market breadth stayed mixed as participants weighed hopes of an India-US trade deal against persistent foreign selling. Analysts said direction through the session would depend on global markets and institutional activity.
