BENGALURU (Reuters) – Indian shares ticked lower on Friday, led by a slide in banking and automotive stocks, amid a lack of enthusiasm for the government’s measures to support an economy battered by the coronavirus outbreak.
The NSE Nifty 50 index fell 0.12% to 9132.20 by 0400 GMT, while the S&P BSE Sensex slipped 0.15% to 31,076.71.
Other Asian markets were also little changed on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump signaled a further deterioration of his relationship with China over the novel coronavirus, suggesting he could even cut ties with China.
