Gains drive market to end high; Auto Index led gains
The stock market ended higher on Friday, driven by gains. The domestic market witnessed low volatility in the absence of fresh triggers and traded on a positive note throughout the session.
Domestic stock market prices dropped on Thursday after trading higher for the previous two days.
The Sensex and Nifty were both down between 0.4 and 0.5 percent in the opening session. The potential for a slowdown in global economic development this year and the most recent withdrawal of capital by foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) from Indian stocks are to blame for the gloomy market mood.

A substantial reduction in both retail and wholesale inflation in the nation prevented the indices from falling much, though.
However, investors would keep an eye out for fresh cues coming from the upcoming Union Budget for 2023–24, slated to be presented on February 1.
