After following the cues from the Reserve Bank of India and the global markets, the domestic stocks were either rising or declining and have been mostly volatile last week.

On Friday, Sensex ended with 390 points down, with heavy selling in IT and energy stocks.
Rising crude oil prices and relentless foreign capital outflows further weighed on sentiment, traders said.
National Stock Exchange’s broad-based Nifty declined 112.75 points or 0.61 per cent to 18,496.60.
Some most active stocks in NSE were Nestle, Sun Pharma, ITC, Dr Reddy and Titan which all gained during the session. Some of the laggards were HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra, TCS, Wipro and Infosys.
On Friday, while with BSE 30-share Sensex, the most active shares which ended with gains were Yes Bank, Paytm, MTNL, Jubilant Pharma and Central Bank. Other stocks which ended in the red included J and K Bank, BCG, Vakrangee, Indian Bank and Unichem Lab.
