Benchmark indices, NIFTY and SENSEX, declined for the second straight day on Friday, November 8, due to losses in oil and gas and banking shares even as the US Fed interest rate cut by 25 basis points on expected lines.

NIFTY closed lower by 51 points, or 0.21%, at 24,148.2, with 27 of its constituents ending in red and 23 in green. The key index opened lower and hit a low of 24,066 in early trade.

The barometer traded in green in late morning deals, but increased selling dragged it down soon after. The index touched a high of 24,276.15 in day trade.

The 30-share SENSEX declined 55.47 points, or 0.07%, to close at 79,486. As many as 15 SENSEX stocks ended lower while the rest with gains.
