Sensex Support Seen at 71,000–71,200 as Nifty Eyes Rebound
Indian stocks had another difficult week and fell for the eighth week in a row.
The Sensex lost 1,670.84 points during the week, and the Nifty fell by more than 3 percent.
Investors were worried about overseas investors selling shares, higher oil prices and weak signals from global markets.
On Thursday, the Sensex briefly reached its lowest level in a year before closing at 71,909.70.
Analysts think the Sensex may find support around 71,000–71,200.
They say the Nifty could rebound toward 22,800 if buyers return.
But they also warned that prices could fall further if the Nifty drops below its April low.
Oil prices, bond yields and foreign investor activity may affect what happens next.
Indian markets ended lower for an eighth consecutive week, with the Sensex down 1,670.84 points.
The Nifty fell more than 3 percent during the week amid persistent selling.
