India's BSE Sensex extended early losses to close about 1.2% down at 81,287 on Friday, the lowest since early February, marking the second session of declines. Market sentiment remained subdued, driven by renewed foreign fund selling and market nervousness over stalled US–Iran nuclear negotiations. Selling was broad-based, driven by sustained profit booking in financials, autos, and select consumption stocks, even as IT counters lent modest support.

ICICI Bank fell 1.9%, Kotak Mahindra Bank dropped 1.9% and HDFC Bank slipped 1.3%. State-run lender State Bank of India also shed 0.6%. Auto companies Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra & Mahindra fell 2.5% and 2.3% , respectively. Among IT names, Infosys and HCL Technologies gained 0.8% each, while TCS fell by 0.3%.

Sensex Opens at Over 3-Week Low
India’s BSE Sensex fell about 0.4% to 81,899 on Friday, falling to its lowest since early February following a muted session, as selling pressure weighed across most sectors, with only technology posting modest gains.

The index also followed flat trading in US stock futures, reflecting muted reactions to recent strong corporate earnings and cautious sentiment on broader market growth prospects. Further weighing on sentiment is the US January producer price inflation data due later today.
