Sensex and Nifty fall; post first weekly loss in five

Mumbai: Shares fell on Friday, posting their first weekly loss in five, as investors braced for yet another weak quarter of earnings and after a torrid session in Asia following tepid Japan business sentiment data.

The broader Nifty fell 0.33% to end at 7,713.05, while the benchmark Sensex dropped 0.28% to close at 25,269.64, retreating from a nearly three-month high hit on Thursday.

The Sensex fell 0.27% for the week, after four straight weekly gains, while the Nifty eased 0.04%.
