Indian equity benchmarks resumed weekly losses after a breather last week, led by the declines in the information technology stocks cause by the global tech rout over AI fears. The BSE Sensex fell nearly 1.2% lower to end the week at 82,626.75, while the NSE Nifty 50 settled below 25,500. On Friday, the 30-stock index fell over 1,000 points, while the 50-stock index fell 1.3%.
The declines were caused by the rout in IT stocks, which tracked the losses in the tech share in Wall Street since last two days.
On Friday, the declines in the benchmarks were led by the shares in HDFC Bank and Reliance Industries. All the sectoral gauges tracked by NSE ended lower, led by the NSE Nifty Metal Index's 3.3% losses.
The market breadth was firmly tilted in favour of sellers. About 2,885 shares declined and 1,315 stocks advanced on BSE.
Elsewhere around the world, Asian shares pulled back from record highs as concerns about tech sector margins hit US stocks. Japan's Nikkei fell 1% and the S&P 500 futures were down 0.2%. European shares opened lower after an overnight sell-off on Wall Street linked to AI fears. The Stoxx 600 was down 0.1% shortly after the open, with most sectors and major markets in the red. The FTSE 100 rose 0.3%, while France's CAC 40 fell 0.3%, Italy's FTSE Mib slipped 0.3%, and Germany's DAX was down 0.1%.
