Indian shares gave up early gains to trade lower on Thursday, as losses in metal and energy stocks outweighed gains in financial counters, while persistent concerns over global inflation also weighed on investor sentiment.

"Overall sentiment in the domestic market has been down because of constant foreign fund outflows and inflationary pressures. It's difficult to see an upside for markets from here," said Samrat Dasgupta, chief executive officer at Esquire Capital Investment Advisors.Foreign investors have sold a net $4.79 billion worth of Indian equities so far this month, compared with $1.79 billion worth net offload in the same period last month, Refinitiv data showed.

"Inflation is a concern globally and the Fed is saying that they won't hesitate to raise rates to keep it down. But the market will be watching the numbers till they start easing out and until then, there will always be this overhang," Dasgupta said.
