The BSE Sensex erased early gains to close 0.3% lower at 73,829 on Thursday, marking its fifth consecutive decline ahead of the long weekend. Continuous selling in auto, IT, and select banking stocks pushed the main index down. Market participants were cautious and preferred not to make fresh positions amid global uncertainty, particularly surrounding Donald Trump’s tariff policies.

For the week, the index lost about 0.7%.
