"However, such up move may take a while longer to prosper, and to that end, inability to float above 9080 needs to be taken as signal towards more consolidation," he added.

All sectoral indices were trading in green. S&P BSE Realty, S&P BSE Capital Goods and S&P BSE Industrials gained over 1% each.
S&P BSE Bankex snapped its four-session long losing streak to add 0.3%, led by gains in Axis Bank (up 1%), Bank of Baroda (up 0.5%) and ICICI Bank (up 0.5%).

Shares of state-run Bank of Baroda (BoB) rose 1% following reports that the lender is looking to reduce stake in its insurance and asset-management ventures.
India least attractive EM
India is the least attractive developing nation for investors due to its relatively expensive stocks, bonds and currency, while Mexico is the best, reported Bloomberg. The study is based on a range of metrics analyzed by Bloomberg including growth, yields and equity valuations.
Meanwhile, the pace of foreign portfolio investor (FPI) buying was seen slowing. On Wednesday, FPIs bought equities worth Rs 356 crore, while domestic institutions sold these to a tune of Rs 780 crore, provisional data available with BSE showed.
All eyes on Trump and healthcare
Investors have been bracing for today's floor vote on Trump's GOP healthcare bill scheduled in the US House of Representatives, with safe-haven securities including Treasuries and gold seeing price gains on Wednesday. Trump and Republican congressional leaders appeared on Wednesday to be losing the battle to get enough support to pass the Obamacare rollback bill.
"If the vote doesn’t pass, or is postponed, it will cast a lot of doubt on the Trump trades," told the influential bond investor Jeffrey Gundlach, chief executive at DoubleLine Capital to Reuters.
