Nifty seen muted; Tata Motors, Jio Financial, Lenskart in focus

The stock market is like a big shop where people buy and sell tiny pieces of companies.

On Wednesday, the prices of many shares in India went down a little bit.

This happened partly because there is trouble far away in the Middle East and oil has become more expensive.

On Thursday, the market is expected to start the day quietly.

Many companies are telling everyone how much money they made in the first three months of the year.

Some companies, like Apollo Hospitals and Lenskart, made more money than before.

Another company, Jio Financial, is getting a big new partner called Bank of America.

One bank, Axis Bank, borrowed money from overseas to help its business grow.

However, some companies, like IRCON, did not do as well as they did last year.
