Sensex Today | Stock Market Highlights: Indian equities ended the week sharply lower, snapping a two-week gaining streak and logging the biggest weekly fall in four months. The Sensex fell 605 points on Friday to 83,576, while the Nifty dropped 194 points to 25,683, extending losses for a fourth straight session and slipping below 25,700.

For the week, the Nifty declined nearly 2.5%, with all sectoral indices in the red, some correcting up to 6%. BSE-listed companies saw over ₹15 lakh crore in market capitalisation wiped out during the week.

Selling pressure was broad-based on Friday, with market breadth skewed heavily towards declines (advance-decline ratio 1:4) and more than 35 Nifty stocks ending lower; over 20 stocks fell more than 1%, including six down over 2%. The Nifty Bank slid 435 points to 59,252 but outperformed on a weekly basis, ending down ~1.5%, while the midcap index fell 474 points to 59,748 and lost over 2.5% for the week.

Adani Enterprises, NTPC, Jio Financial, ICICI Bank, Bajaj Auto and Adani Ports led the declines among frontline stocks. Realty was the worst-performing sector, pressured by FII selling, with Godrej Properties among the top losers. Capital market stocks remained weak, with 360 One falling 4%, while select capital goods names such as Hitachi and CG Power also saw continued pressure.

Amid the weakness, metal stocks bucked the trend. Upstream oil stocks rose 1–2% on firmer crude. On the downside, IEX tumbled 8% after CERC did not withdraw the market coupling order, while Manappuram fell 8% on a Reuters report citing RBI concerns over the Bain deal.

Overall, the week was marked by risk-off sentiment, broad-based selling and sectoral pressure, leaving benchmarks with their steepest weekly decline in months.
