The Indian stock market ended flat on Friday, November 28, as profit booking at higher levels and caution ahead of the release of Q2 GDP data weighed on sentiment, while mixed global cues offered little support.
The Sensex closed 14 points, or 0.02%, lower at 85,706.67, while the Nifty 50 settled at 26,202.95, down 13 points, or 0.05%. The BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices slipped by 0.04% and 0.13%, respectively.
Shares of HDFC Bank, Bharti Airtel and Infosys were among the top drags on the Sensex, while those of Mahindra and Mahindra, SBI, and Kotak Mahindra Bank were among the top supports for the index.
On a weekly basis, the benchmarks logged their third consecutive week of gains, rising around half a per cent.
On a monthly basis, too, they advanced for the third straight month, gaining about 2% each.
