New Delhi, Nov. 23 -- The Indian equity benchmarks snapped their two-day winning streak on Friday, November 21, ending 0.5% lower as major financial stocks-including HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, SBI, and Bajaj Finance-dragged the indices down amid weak global sentiment.

The Nifty 50 retreated after touching a fresh 52-week high of 26,246.65 in the previous session on November 20.

By the close, the Sensex had fallen 400.76 points, or 0.47%, to 85,231.92, while the Nifty 50 declined 124 points, or 0.47%, to settle at 26,068.15.
