Markets closed lower despite early gains, with Nifty and Sensex both declining over 1.9%. The downward movement contrasted with earlier bullish trends, as key indices failed to sustain momentum. Corporate earnings reports and guidance cuts, particularly from Infosys, weighed on sentiment. While volatility had cooled earlier in the week, the session's losses highlighted ongoing market sensitivity to earnings outlooks and external factors. The rupee's stability amid oil price pressures provided some offset, but overall, the day reflected a cautious tone among investors.
