The market changed its morning gains to close somewhat lower on Friday as investors continued to be cautious due to mixed earnings, so far, and ahead of the French election, which is scheduled on Sunday. Market sentiment got negatively affected by the hawkish RBI tone in its latest minutes and also due to steady selling by FIIs in April, a disappointing follow-up to highest ever buying in March.
HDFC Bank, the country's second-largest private sector lender, has announced a stable set of quarterly earnings on Friday. The bank's profit grew by 18.2% Y-o-Y to Rs 3,990 crore in the quarter ended March 2017. The better-than-expected net interest income coupled with non-interest income and operating profit boosted earnings but a sharp increase in provisions curtailed growth.
Srikalahasti Pipes is on the upside while Cipla is on the downside.
