The Indian benchmark indices are likely to open on a flat note on Wednesday, following a muted trend in Asian peers. Investors' worries eased after US President Donald Trump referred to the escalating trade war with China as “a little squabble,” and added, “We have a good dialogue going.” On Tuesday, Indian shares ended higher, snapping nine sessions of losses with Nifty closing above the 11,200-mark. The Sensex settled 228 points higher at 37,318, while Nifty added 74 points at 11,222.
