Sensex, Nifty updates on 23 February, 2024: During Friday’s trading session, India’s benchmark stock indices, Sensex and Nifty, went through a volatile phase and ended lower due to selling pressure in IT and select banking stocks. The BSE Sensex closed at 73,142.80, slipping 15.44 points, with 17 components in the red and 13 in the green. Although it opened higher, profit-taking activities led to losses later in the day, with the index fluctuating between 73,413.93 and 73,022. The broader Nifty of NSE also closed lower at 22,212.70, down 4.75 points. While FMCG, pharma, and financial shares gained, losses in IT and private bank shares offset these gains. On the global front, markets were mostly higher, following impressive quarterly results by Nvidia that led to strong gains in US markets.
