Equity benchmark indices settled on a weaker note on Friday amid selling across the sectors due to weak global cues and profit booking at higher levels. The BSE Sensex fell 793.25 points or 1.06 percent to close at 74,244.90. The NSE Nifty50 was down 234.40 points or 1.03 percent to settle at 22,519.40. BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices fell 0.5 per cent each. All sectors including midcap and smallcap ended in red with Oil & Gas, PSU Bank, and Pharma being major losers.

“Markets on Wednesday touched a new scale, with Nifty touching 22,775 levels. However, uncertainty over the US Fed rate cut timing and concerns about rising tensions between Iran and Israel led to a decline in global markets. The rise in bond yields due to hotter-than-expected US inflation and amendment in the India-Mauritius tax treaty likely to impact FII flow dampened the sentiments. We expect markets to remain volatile in the near term given the global concerns and the start of an election next week, said Siddhartha Khemka, Head - Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd.

“With the onset of the earning season, the focus will shift more toward domestic cues along with macro data points. Markets on Monday will react to India’s inflation data and TCS Q4 numbers which will be released today,” he added.

Over the weekend, Iran attacked Israel with more than 300 drones and missiles and the former’s proxies launched attacks on Israeli positions. Iran said its attack on Israel was in response to a strike on its consular building in Syria. The escalating turmoil in the Middle East is expected to spark volatility in global markets.
