Markets weekly: Sensex, Nifty end flat; HCL Tech surges 9%, ICICI Bank falls 6%

NSE Nifty index jumped 44.65 points, or 52 per cent to 8683.15 from 8638.50 during the week. The Friday’s rally helped markets to pare all their losses and post gains for the week. Sensex gained 363.98 points on Friday.
