Oversold markets may stage near-term rebound, say analysts

Indian equities experienced a decline on Friday, mirroring Asian markets' downward trend. Both Nifty and Sensex indices closed lower for a fifth consecutive week. Rising crude oil prices and US bond yields kept investors on edge throughout the trading session. Broader market indices also saw a dip, reflecting the overall market sentiment. Despite some recovery, the market's fear gauge, VIX, increased significantly.
