Market Snapshot
Domestic equities began the week on a subdued note as benchmark indices, Nifty 50 and Sensex, slipped in the final hour of Friday’s session (November 24).
Market sentiment remained weak across the board, with most sectoral indices ending in the red.
Nifty Realty led the decline, shedding over 2 percent amid broad-based selling pressure.
Other sectors such as Metals, Consumer Durables, Oil & Gas, Healthcare, FMCG, and Media also faced notable losses.
Financials, Private Banks, and Pharma stocks witnessed mild declines, while PSU Banks managed to close largely unchanged.
The IT pack stood out as the only gainer, lending limited support to the otherwise lackluster market mood.
