A day which will go down in history as one of the most volatile days of 2018 saw Sensex recovering by more than 900 points, while Nifty50 managed to just about hold on to 11,000-levels.
Even though benchmark indices recovered from day's lows, but investors became poorer by nearly Rs 2 lakh crore in just one trading session, and by over Rs 5.5 lakh crore this week, BSE data showed.
Led by sharp fall in stocks, the market capitalisation (m-cap) of BSE-listed companies plunged by Rs 1.89 lakh crore to Rs 150.83 lakh crore compared to Rs 152.73 lakh crore recorded on Wednesday.
The S&P BSE Sensex finally closed 279 points lower at Rs 36, 841 while the Nifty50 ended 91 points down at 11,143 on Friday. For the week, Sensex has lost 1,249 points, or 3.2 percent, while Nifty lost nearly 400 points, or 3.2 percent, for the week ended September 21.
Sectorally, BSE Realty index lost 3.4 percent, followed by the S&P BSE Bankex, which lost 3.1 percent, and the S&P BSE Finance Index was down 2.5 percent on Friday.
