New Delhi, March 2 -- Stock market recap: Indian benchmark indices closed sharply lower on Friday as weak global cues and rising geopolitical tensions weighed on sentiment.

The Nifty slipped below the 25,200 mark, ending at 25,178.65, down 317.90 points or 1.25%, while the Sensex lost 961.42 points or 1.17% to settle at 81,287.19.

Selling pressure intensified, dismantling any hopes of revival. Despite the constant effort seen at the lower level to revive the muted response to participate in the indices has kept the entire trend to stock-specific action. We are now forced to be very selective as triggers are all over the place.
