Hawkish comments from US Federal Reserve officials and renewed concerns about a growth slowdown in China halted the Nifty’s eight-day winning streak, with the 50-share index falling 198 points, or 1.1 per cent, to finish at 17,758 on Friday. The index, however, still managed to post its fifth straight weekly gains.
