Sensex ends rising spree amid weak global cues and falling rupee

Breaking its four-day rising spree, the Sensex ended over 100 points lower on Thursday, led by selling in banking shares as investors stayed on the backfoot ahead of key results. Lacklustre global cues and a weakening rupee added to the wariness of participants, traders said.
 
The Sensex settled 106.41 points, or 0.29 per cent, down at 36,106.50, while the broader Nifty fell 33.55 points, or 0.31 per cent, to finish at 10,821.60.
 
The fall was led by banking stocks, with IndusInd Bank, Kotak Bank, Federal Bank, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and SBI declining up to 2.36
