Indian indices
Extending losses for the second consecutive week, the Indian equity indices settled marginally lower in a volatile session, as investors stayed cautious in the midst of the earnings season. The Nifty slipped below 9100, dragged down by index heavyweights like Sun Pharma and ITC. However, RIL and HDFC Bank supported the market.
Small and Midcap stocks hit record highs, with the Nifty Smallcap 100 index climbing as much as 1.1% and the Nifty Midcap 100 index up as much as 0.6%.
