Mumbai: The Indian stock market ended the week almost flat, but with a slightly negative mood. The BSE Sensex fell by 30.96 points (0.04%), while the NSE Nifty slipped 36.6 points (0.15%).

Experts said the market started the week on a positive note, but a sharp fall on Thursday wiped out gains. The last trading session was also volatile, showing that investors are still cautious.
