Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 25 (ANI): Indian equity markets on Wednesday opened with losses. Though the global markets opened stronger, selling pressure in banking and IT stocks kept indices close to the flatline in the early trade.
Key index BSE Sensex dropped 146 points to 60,831.89 level while Nifty fell 43 points to 18,082.40 level at 9.20 am on Wednesday.
Some of the most active stock that went up in morning trade were Nazara Tech, Car Trade, Sharda Corp, CG Power and Elecon Engineering on BSE. Pidilite Industries, Sindhu Trade, United Spirits, Solar Industries and Motiwal Oswal were some of the laggards in morning trade.
"Mirroring robust global peers, the domestic market extended previous gains driven by auto stocks. However, due to selling pressure in banking shares, the indices anchored close to the flatline. Auto stocks were in focus prior to the earnings results of the sector major. Hopes of a soft landing of the US economy along with the anticipation of a lesser rate hike boosted global bourses," Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
