New Delhi: Indian stock markets including BSE Sensex, NSE Nifty, forex and money markets as well as all commodity markets, including bullion and oils & oilseeds will remain closed on Friday on account of Maharashtra Day.
Logging its third straight weekly fall, the benchmark BSE Sensex slipped by 214 points to end at 27,011.31, while Nifty ended below the 8,200-mark on account of declines in blue-chips as the monthly derivative contract expired yesterday.
Across-the-board selling on the last day of April series derivative contracts, MAT worries, disappointing Q4 results so far and sluggish global cues pulled down markets.
The rupee depreciated for the second day yesterday closing down by 12 paise at 63.42 against the US currency due to month-end dollar demand from importers and fall in stocks markets.
