The Indian stock market ended lower for the third straight session on Friday, November 7, as weak global cues weighed on investor sentiment. Both key indices — the Sensex and the Nifty 50 — remained under pressure throughout the day. The Sensex slipped by 95 points, or 0.11%, to close at 83,216.28, while the Nifty 50 declined 17 points, or 0.07%, to settle at 25,492.30.
Despite the overall weakness in large-cap stocks, broader markets showed mixed performance. The BSE Midcap index managed to outperform, gaining 0.25%, supported by select buying in mid-tier companies. Meanwhile, the BSE Smallcap index remained largely unchanged, ending the day flat. Market participants attributed the subdued sentiment to ongoing global uncertainties and a lack of fresh domestic triggers, which kept investors cautious. Analysts noted that the market could remain volatile in the near term, closely tracking international trends and upcoming economic data.
