Sensex Goes Below 26k, Down 122 Points As Asian Cues Lie Low


MUMBAI: The benchmark BSE Sensex gave up over 122 points to fall below the 26,000-level in early trade on Wednesday due to profit-booking by investors and weak Asian cues.

Caution ahead of expiry of April series contracts in the derivatives segment tomorrow influenced sentiment.

The 30-share barometer was down by 122.06 points, or 0.46%, to 25,885.24 in early 

trade, with sectoral indices led by banking, power and healthcare trading lower.

The index had risen 328 points yesterday, tracking a recovery in global stocks and oil prices.
