Indian indices:
Welcome to the 'Weekly Market Wrap' for October 17, 2014 where key benchmark indices declined on sustained selling by foreign funds. However, a steady decline in crude oil prices cushioned steep slide.
The barometer index, the S&P BSE Sensex, regained the psychological 26,000 mark after declining below that level during the week. In the truncated trading week, key indices logged gains in two trading sessions and declined in other two trading sessions. Indian stocks registered declines for fourth straight week in the week ended Friday, 17 October 2014.
In the week ended Friday, 17 October 2014, the 30-share S&P BSE Sensex fell 188.90 points or 0.71% to settle at 26,108.53. The 50-unit CNX Nifty points declined 80.30 points or 1.02% to settle at 7,779.70.
The S&P BSE Mid-Cap index fell 171.90 points or 1.82% to settle at 9,272.49. The S&P BSE Small-Cap index declined 297 points or 2.79% to settle at 10,313.97. Both these indices underperformed the Sensex.
