New Delhi, Oct. 4 -- Stocks to buy | Ganesh Dongre of Anand Rathi: The Indian equity benchmarks ended the week on a sharply negative note, with the Nifty 50 declining nearly 3.11% to close at 22,421, while the Bank Nifty declined 2.03% to close at 54,450. Sectoral performance remained weak, with most major sectors witnessing declines in the range of 2-6% during the week. From a macro perspective, geopolitical uncertainties remained elevated, particularly amid ongoing US-Iran tensions and broader developments in the Middle East. Rising crude oil prices, along with higher global bond yields, further added to concerns over inflation, liquidity and overall market sentiment.
