The NSE Nifty dropped 292.95 points, or 1.17%, to 24,852.15, its third day of decline.

“We expect consolidation mode to continue in the market over the near term,” Siddhartha Khemka, Head, Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd, said.

Investors would also track the movement of global oil benchmark Brent crude and rupee-dollar trends.

In the week ahead, US inflation data will be closely monitored, Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services, said.
