Domestic equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty ended flat on Friday as muted cues from global markets and spiking Covid-19 cases in the country kept investors on edge.
After touching a low of 37,787.38 during the day, the BSE Sensex settled just 15.12 points or 0.04 per cent higher at 38,040.57.
Similarly, the NSE Nifty rose 13.90 points or 0.12 per cent to finish at 11,214.05.
Asian Paints was the top gainer in the Sensex pack, spurting over 4 per cent, followed by Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Finserv, IndusInd Bank and Maruti.
On the other hand, Titan, HCL Tech, Infosys, Sun Pharma and M&M were among the laggards.
According to traders, market sentiment turned choppy tracking weak cues from global indices amid reports that the Trump administration was considering a proposal to crack down on Chinese companies listed in the US.
Spiking Covid-19 cases too kept investors jittery, they said.
