Stocks in news: Lenskart, GNG Electronics, Vedanta, Infosys, RIL

Markets remained volatile on the weekly expiry day and ended lower amid weak global cues. As anticipated, the market continues to witness selling pressure on every rise. However, rotational buying in select heavyweight stocks is helping contain the pace of the decline. Analysts say a decisive break below the 23,000 mark could trigger the next leg of the corrective phase, while the upside is likely to remain capped near the 23,500 level. At the same time, profit booking in the broader indices, which had been outperforming earlier, is adding to participants’ concerns.
