CLOSING BELL
Stock market highlights: The S&P BSE Sensex exhibited wild swings in trade on Friday as investors remained worried about global growth outlook. The 30-pack index gyrated in a range of 732 points intra-day, and settled 135 points, or 0.26 per cent, lower at 51,360.
The NSE Nifty50, meanwhile, closed at 15,294, down 67 points or 0.44 per cent. Bajaj twins, Coal India, JSW Steel, Apollo Hospitals, ITC, ICICI Bank, RIL, and HDFC Bank were the top Nifty gainers, rising between 0.8 per cent and 3 per cent.

Sectorally, the Nifty Pharma index was worst hit, down over 2 per cent on the NSE, while the Nifty Bank added the most, up 0.75 per cent.
In the broader markets, the BSE MidCap and SmallCap indices underperformed the benchmarks and slipped up to 0.9 per cent.
Global markets
European markets were higher on Friday, but remained on course for a bruising week as global stocks reacted to policy tightening from major central banks. The pan-European Stoxx 600 gained 0.8 per cent in early trade after an uncertain open.
On Wall Street, futures linked to headline indices advanced between 0.8 per cent and 1.2 per cent. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei shed about 2 per cent, Kospi fell 0.43 per cent, while Hang Seng gained 1 per cent.
