Mumbai , May 26 Stock markets ended the tumultuous week on a positive note recovering most losses on buying support from mutual funds and domestic institutions. On Friday, the benchmark BSE-30 Sensex extended earlier gains and closed at 10,809.35, an increase of 143.03 points or 1.34 per cent from Thursday. Compared to the freefall of 1,111 points mid-way through Monday's session, the Sensex closed the week relatively unscathed, lower by just 129.26 points from last Friday. NSE's S&P CNX Nifty Index closed at 3,209.60, up 31.9 points or one per cent.
