Market records steepest weekly declines in over two years
At close, Sensex ended near the 78,000 mark, shedding 1.5% from the previous session, while the Nifty fell below 23,600, also down 1.5%.
Expectations of a monetary policy easing, coupled with hopes of healthy quarterly results and broadly positive global cues, buoyed the key Indian equity indices — NSE Nifty and BSE Sensex — during the morning trade session on Tuesday.
According to market observers, factors such as hopes of a lending rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its next policy review meet on Wednesday enhanced investors risk taking appetite.
