Market Snapshot

  • Nifty 50 and Sensex ended with mild losses on February 13, marking the seventh consecutive session of decline, the longest losing streak in three months.
  • Markets opened flat-to-positive and extended gains, supported by improved investor sentiment due to cooling retail inflation and a drop in crude prices amid reports of progress in Ukraine-Russia peace talks.
  • Broad-based buying across sectors provided early support, but profit-booking in the second half erased gains, leading to a flat closing for the key indices
