Indian benchmark indices ended with marginal losses in the volatile session on June 5, after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) maintained the repo rate at 5.25% and retained the 'neutral' stance.


The central bank lowered its FY27 GDP growth forecast to 6.6% from around 6.9%, while it raised its inflation forecast to approximately 5.1%.

At close, the Sensex was down 116.67 points or 0.16 percent at 74,243.34, and the Nifty was down 49.85 points or 0.21 percent at 23,366.70.

For the week, BSE Sensex and Nifty50 indices shed 0.7 percent each.

The Indian rupee recorded a strong recovery on June 5, closing 85 paise higher at 94.94 per US dollar against the previous close of 95.79.

The broader market showed a mixed trend. The Nifty Midcap Index ended about 0.3% lower, while the Nifty Smallcap Index closed largely flat.

Among the Nifty constituents, Hindalco Industries, Wipro, Trent, Coal India, and TCS were the top losers. On the positive side, Adani Enterprises, Hindustan Unilever, Adani Ports, Bajaj Finance, and Axis Bank emerged as the top gainers.

Sectorally, the Media index outperformed with a gain of 3.5%. PSU Banks, Realty, Consumer Durables, and Healthcare indices also advanced about 0.5% each. In contrast, Energy, IT, Metal, Oil & Gas, and Telecom indices declined between 0.5% and 1.5%.
