Indian equities ended in the red for the second straight session on Friday, mirroring weak global markets. Further, the drag came amid weak revenue guidance by IT majors for FY24. Nifty ended 43 points or 0.22per cent lower at 19,751, while Sensex fell 126 points or 0.19 per cent to close the session at 66,283. Sectorally, it was a mixed show, with the auto pack leading the gains, while the PSU Bank and Media indices ended with the biggest cut of over 1 per cent.
