Equities in India fell 375.5 points or 0.5% to 72,146.1 on Friday morning deals, retreating for the 5th straight session and heading for a 2.8% plunge for the week amid uncertainty surrounding the US Fed cut interest rate. Atlanta Fed Bank President Bostic and New York Fed President John Williams Thursday offered their hawkish statements that suggested the US central bank was in "no rush" on rate cuts in the near term.
