Negative Global Cues Depress Equity Markets
MUMBAI: Negative global cues, along with slight profit booking, depressed the Indian equity markets during the early morning session on Tuesday.
The wider 51-scrip Nifty of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) slipped by 9.20 points, or 0.11 per cent to 8,619.95 points.
The barometer 30-scrip sensitive index (Sensex) of the BSE, which opened at 28,012.56 points, traded at 27,962.17 points (at 9.35 a.m.) -- down 23.37 points, or 0.08 per cent from the previous close at 27,985.54 points.
The Sensex has so far touched a high of 28,028.98 points and a low of 27,928.63 points during the intra-day trade.
In contrast, the BSE market breadth was tilted in favour of the bulls -- with 823 advances and 711 declines.
On Monday, both the key Indian indices were suppressed by negative global cues and a weak Rupee.
