The domestic equity barometers ended with minor losses on Friday. The benchmark Nifty 50 index closed below the 25,400 mark. FMCG and oil & gas sectors faced selling pressure, while realty, media, and PSU bank stocks gained ground. Global equity markets remained largely positive, buoyed by US macroeconomic data suggesting that inflation may be under control. However, weaker-than-expected US labor market data tempered some of this optimism. Domestic sentiment was supported by daily FII inflows and a decline in US 10-year Treasury yields.

The Indian rupee witnessed range-bound trade and settled for the day higher by 6 paise at 83.90 (provisional) against the US dollar on Friday supported by weakening of the American currency in the overseas market and significant foreign fund inflows. The dollar index fell below 101, extending losses from the previous session amid growing expectations that the Federal Reserve could act more aggressively when it starts cutting interest rates next week. Meanwhile, the benchmark S&P/BSE Sensex slid 71.77 points, or 0.09 percent, to 82,890.94 while the broader NSE Nifty index settled at 25,356.50, down 32.40 points, or 0.13 percent, from its previous close. At the interbank foreign exchange market, the local unit opened at 83.92 and witnessed an intraday high of 83.85 and a low of 83.98 against the American currency.
