<h1>BSE Sensex Rises After Five Days as Financials Lead Gains; NSE Nifty Continues Decline Amid Selling Pressure</h1> The BSE Sensex ended a five-day losing streak, rising 147.71 points to 74,602.12, driven by gains in financial and FMCG shares. However, the NSE Nifty fell for the sixth day, dropping 5.80 points to 22,547.55 due to late selling in pharma, metal, and IT stocks. Weak Asian and US markets, along with foreign fund outflows, contributed to investor caution. Mahindra & Mahindra and Bharti Airtel led gains, while Sun Pharma and Tata Consultancy Services were among the laggards. Foreign institutional investors sold equities worth Rs 6,286.70 crore, and domestic investors purchased Rs 5,185.65 crore. Markets will be closed on Wednesday for Mahashivratri.
