Market breaks 6-day winning run, but logs second weekly gain

April 22, 2016 18:13

The Sensex today recorded its first drop in seven sessions, edging down by over 42 points, and the Nifty broke below 7,900 following profit-booking amid mixed global leads, but both indices scored gains for the second straight week.

For the week, the BSE Sensex rose 211.39 points, or 0.82 per cent, and the NSE Nifty 48.85 points, or 0.62 per cent. Overnight losses in the US, lacklustre corporate earnings by top US companies and the rupee, at 66.48, giving up some ground against the dollar soured mood.
