MUMBAI: The Indian equity benchmarks closed this week down around 2.5 per cent, continuing decline through five sessions amid persistent uncertainty over the US-India tariff talks and escalating geopolitical tensions.
Profit-booking in autos, metals, and oil and gas weighed on indices during the week, while selective buying in consumer durables, on hopes of a demand revival, offered brief respite.
Nifty dipped 2.45 per cent this week and 0.75 per cent on the last trading day to end at 25, 638. At close, Sensex was down 604 points or 0.72 per cent at 83, 576. It dipped 2.55 per cent during the week.
