Indian stock indices were highly volatile on Monday, to later settle for the day in the red, primarily attributable to profit booking by investors after a consistent rise over the past few weeks.
Indian stock indices traded firmly Friday morning, the last session before the weekend, after India reported more-than-expected GDP growth in the July-September quarter of the 2023-24 fiscal year.
Indian stock indices opened largely unchanged on Thursday, to later trade marginally in the red. The relative weakness was likely because investors resorted to profit booking after a bumper Wednesday session, and ahead of Assembly exit polls of five states later this evening.
The exit polls due on Thursday are likely to give indications of the Assembly election outcomes and its impact on the crucial General election in 2024.

Indian stock indices edged marginally higher Friday morning after touching nearly a four-week low the previous session, tracking Asian peers and relatively firm overnight US market cues.
