Stock markets ended the week on a positive note, with benchmark indices hitting a nine-month high on Friday, according to the IANS.

The upbeat sentiment was driven by easing geopolitical tensions in West Asia and reports suggesting a potentially strong India–US trade agreement, which boosted investor confidence and encouraged buying.

The BSE Sensex rose by 303.03 points, or 0.36 per cent, to close at 84,058.90, trading between 83,645.41 and 84,089.35 during the session.
