Stock market update
The Indian markets ended largely unchanged on Friday, November 28, as investors booked profits at higher levels and stayed cautious ahead of the Q2 GDP release. Mixed global signals also failed to lift sentiment.
The Sensex slipped 14 points (0.02%) to close at 85,706.67, while the Nifty 50 edged down 13 points (0.05%) to 26,202.95. The BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices also dipped slightly, by 0.04% and 0.13%, respectively.
HDFC Bank, Bharti Airtel and Infosys were the major laggards on the Sensex, whereas Mahindra & Mahindra, SBI and Kotak Mahindra Bank provided key support.
For the week, both benchmark indices posted their third straight weekly gain, advancing by about 0.5%.
“Indian markets ended virtually flat on November 28, with the Nifty hovering close to the 26,200 level. Sentiment improved following constructive progress in India–US trade negotiations. With Q2 GDP and IIP data due shortly, the overall outlook remains upbeat, and the upcoming prints are expected to validate the strengthening macro environment. By the close, the Sensex slipped 13.71 points or 0.02% to 85,706.67, while the Nifty eased 12.60 points or 0.05% to 26,202.95. Midcap and small-cap indices also wrapped up the session on a muted note. Sector-wise, pharma, media, and auto advanced 0.5–1%, while power, oil & gas, and telecom registered declines of 0.5–0.7%,” said Bajaj Broking Research.
