The Nifty50 index pared gains to end in negative after hitting record highs earlier in the session, as Yes Bank slumped nearly 10% on concerns over bad loans. The Sensex ended flat but at new closing high for the day. 

The NSE Nifty and BSE Sensex were gained more than 1.5% each for the week after the cabinet’s decision to inject $32.4 billion into state-run lenders over the next two years boosted sentiment.

Analysts said markets may take a breather as investors digest corporate results. Q2 earnings of Indian Oil Corporation, ITC, also affected the sentiment.

Globally, Asian shares gained on Friday as technology stocks were boosted by upbeat earnings from US high-tech giants while the euro hovered near a three-month low against the dollar after the European Central Bank extended its stimulus.

Market rundown by Anand James, Chief Market Strategist at Geojit Financial Services 
 
"Domestic indices remained volatile within a narrow range as a mixed bag of corporate numbers and profit booking in PSBs crippled the market's momentum. However, optimism in pharma and FMCG stocks guarded the key support levels. Small and midcap stocks continued to show strength ahead of MSME’s meeting with the GST council scheduled on Sunday. Revival in the banking sector seems to have eased the nerves of FIIs and now market will be expectant on further updates on GST implementations in petroleum products and better Q2 numbers."
