MUMBAI: Indian stock markets closed on a flat note on Friday as mixed global cues kept investor sentiment in check.
After a day of range-bound trading, both the Sensex and Nifty ended slightly lower.
The Sensex closed at 85, 706.67, slipping 13.71 points or 0.02 per cent, while the Nifty settled at 26, 202.95, down 12.6 points or 0.05 per cent.
Nifty faced strong resistance near the 26, 281 zone and stayed range-bound throughout the session between 26, 190 and 26, 281.
“As long as the crucial support belt at 26, 150–26, 000 remains intact, the broader trend stays stable. Immediate resistance is firmly placed at 26, 280–26, 310, ” experts said.
