Stock market today: Domestic equity benchmark indices ended in the red on Friday session amid weak signals from the Asian markets and witnessed extremely volatile trading trends. However, the broader market outperformed the benchmark indices in today’s session.
The 30-share BSE Sensex ended lower by 187.75 points or 0.28% at 65,794.73 level while the Nifty 50 closed at 19,731.80 level, down 33.40 points or 0.17%.
The broader market closed higher than the benchmark indices in the Friday session, the Nifty Midcap 100 closed 0.20% higher and Nifty Smallcap ended flat or 0.09% higher.
Asian stocks were mostly lower on Friday, according to a report from the AP news agency, as Wall Street drifted to a mixed finish as momentum slowed after a robust rally in the first half of November. Oil prices and US futures both rose slightly. Shares in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba fell 9.8% after the company canceled its plan to break up its cloud computing division, sending Hong Kong’s Hang Seng down 2.1% to 17,450.44.
