                Stock Market Friday

                Markets End Week On Friday With A Mixed Note As Investors Eye Global CuesThe markets took a breather on Friday, ending a two-day winning run and reminding investors that every rally needs a pause. The Nifty slipped below 26,100, closing at 26,068, while the Sensex dropped 401 points to end at 85,232. Still, for the week, both indices managed to stay positive, proof that one rough session doesn’t undo steady momentum.Broader indices felt the heat more sharply, with the Midcap and Smallcap indices falling 1.3 percent each. Sector action wasn’t very cheerful either: FMCG was the lone survivor, while capital goods, realty, PSU banks and metal stocks all wrapped up in the red.Among Nifty names, Maruti Suzuki, M&M, InterGlobe Aviation, Tata Motors PV and Max Healthcare dragged the market down, while JSW Steel, Hindalco, Tata Steel, Bajaj Finance and HCL Tech tried their best to hold up sentiment. A classic Friday mix of profit-booking, caution and a hint of weekend mood setting in.(With Input)
