Mumbai, Feb. 13 -- Indian equity benchmarks ended the week lower, weighed down by heavy selling in IT stocks and fading hopes of near-term US rate cuts after stronger-than-expected US jobs data. Markets had begun the week on a firm footing, supported by FII inflows, optimism around the India-US trade agreement and positive Asian cues, but sentiment turned cautious mid-week ahead of key global triggers.

In the week ended on Friday, 13 February 2025, the S&P BSE Sensex tanked 953.64 points or 1.14% to settle at 82,626.76. The Nifty 50 index fell 222.6 points or 0.86% to settle at 25,471.10. The BSE 150 Mid-Cap index fell 1.58% to close at 16,030.52. The BSE 250 Small-Cap index declined 1.50% to close at 6,350.84.
