Markets Fall in Early Trade on Weak Global Trends

Mumbai: Benchmark equity indices declined in early trade on Wednesday amid weak global market trends and continuous foreign fund outflows.

Caution also prevailed in the markets ahead of the major events — RBI’s monetary policy and the US inflation data — due to be announced on Thursday.

The 30-share BSE Sensex fell 158.2 points to 65,688.30, extending its previous day’s weak trend. The NSE Nifty slipped 30.75 points to 19,540.10.
