Equities rebounded on Friday, with the Sensex rising 316.57 points (0.38%) to 82,814.71 and the Nifty 50 up 116.90 points (0.46%) to 25,571.25. Despite gains, the rupee slid to its lowest level since February, reflecting a cautious market sentiment. Heavyweight cyclicals led the recovery, but market breadth remained negative.
