In a session marked by volatility, the Nifty 50 staged a late recovery on Friday, closing 56 points higher at 25,461 despite dipping to an intraday low of 25,331. Though the benchmark index posted a 0.69% weekly decline, the day’s rebound from critical support levels sparked cautious optimism. Gains were led by stocks like Bajaj Finance, Dr. Reddy’s, and Infosys, offsetting weakness in names such as Tata Steel and Eicher Motors. Sectorally, Oil & Gas, Realty, Pharma, and IT stood out.
