Closing Bell: Sensex, Nifty End Week At 2019 High

Indian equity benchmarks registered their best week since November, after posting their longest stretch of weekly gains in over six months.

The S&P BSE Sensex ended 3.7 percent higher this week to close at 38,024 and the NSE Nifty 50 ended at 11,426.85, up 3.5 percent. Both the benchmarks ended the week at a fresh 2019 high.

On Friday, both the 31-share index and the 50-stock gauge closed at 0.71 percent and 0.74 percent respectively.

The market breadth, however, was tilted in favour of sellers. About 1,004 stocks declined and 734 shares advanced on National Stock Exchange.

Nine out of 11 sectoral gauges compiled by NSE advanced, led by the NSE Nifty IT Index’s 1.88 percent rally. On the flipside, the NSE Nifty FMCG Index was the top sectoral loser, down 1.69 percent.
