The Nifty 50 index jumped 3.31% in the past eight trading sessions. The recent resurgence in the US dollar index also spooked investors.

Most shares in Europe and Asia declined on Friday, as investors track the course for monetary policy and continue to digest corporate earnings reports. Investor sentiment has been tepid since mid-week after minutes from the Federal Reserves July meeting showed policymakers would not consider pulling back on interest rate hikes until inflation came down substantially. US stocks ended higher Thursday as an upbeat sales forecast from Cisco Systems helped to lift the technology sector, while data showed the economy remained relatively strong. Sales of previously occupied US homes slowed for the sixth consecutive month in July.
