Sensex, Nifty log worst week since mid-March as volatility, foreign selling weighs

Indian shares ended the week on a higher note, but still posted their worst week since mid-March. Concerns surrounding the ongoing national elections and foreign investor selling were the major factors weighing on sentiment. The Nifty 50 and Sensex dropped about 1.8% each during the week, marking a significant downturn in performance. The volatility index also surged to a 19-month high. Lower voter turnout in the elections and intense foreign selling of Indian shares contributed to the cautious market sentiment.
