However, expectations of a normal monsoon, the Reserve Bank of India’s record dividend payout, and U.S. court rulings on President Donald Trump’s tariffs provided some respite to the market.
The larger indices, the
BSE
Sensex and the
NSE
Nifty, ended marginally lower, while the BSE Midcap and the BSE Smallcap indices showed some resilience and settled in positive terrain.
The 30-share Sensex concluded the week with a marginal loss of 270 points, or 0.33%, at 81,451, with the benchmark index ending in the red in three of the five sessions in the week, in the absence of any fresh trigger. In a similar trend, the Nifty50 slid 102 points, or 0.4%, to slip below the crucial mark of 25,000 to 24,751.
