Benchmark equity indices settled higher on a weekly basis for the fourth consecutive week, marking their best month so far in 2024. However, on Friday the markets snapped their four-day winning streak to settle in red.

On Friday, the BSE Sensex fell 210.45 points or 0.27 per cent to settle at 79,032.73. The NSE Nifty50 slipped 33.90 points or 0.14 per cent to close at 24,010.60. The broader market outperformed with Nifty Midcap 100 up 0.6 per cent and Nifty Smallcap 100 up 0.8 per cent. Except for Banking and financials, all sectors ended in green.

“The telecom sector was in focus after Reliance and Bharti Airtel announced a price hike. Cement space too was in momentum on the back of sectorial consolidation after Ultratech announced the acquisition of a 23 per cent stake in India Cement. Nifty and Sensex have crossed historic milestones with both the indices making fresh highs of 24,174 and 79,671 levels respectively. We expect this positive momentum to continue at a steady pace with stock-specific action. However, the release of economic data points next week would keep a little volatility in the market. The sector like Auto is expected to be in the limelight as OEMs would release their monthly auto Sales number,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Senior Group VP, Head - Research, Broking & Distribution, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd.
