Rising for the fourth straight day, benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty eked out modest gains after a choppy session on Friday amid a mixed trend in global equities and uncertainties on the geopolitical front.

In the broader market, the BSE smallcap index gained 0.90% and the midcap gauge went higher by 0.45% in Friday's session. On a weekly basis, the Sensex jumped 1,216 points or 2.23%, while the Nifty advanced 385 or 2.37%.
Investors await inflation data which is expected to be announced on Monday. India's retail inflation is likely to have slipped marginally in February, according to a Reuters poll of economists.

“The short term uptrend of Nifty remains intact with high volatility. Having placed near the crucial overhead resistance of around 16800-17000 levels, there is a possibility of further consolidation movement for the short term. Weakness from the highs can't be ruled in the coming session. Immediate supports to be watched at 16450 levels," said Nagaraj Shetti, Technical Research Analyst, HDFC Securities.
