Sensex, Nifty turn choppy on weak global cues

News, Business

Mumbai: The benchmark BSE Sensex extended volatility for the third straight day by shedding over 60 points in early trade today on selling by domestic institutional investors amid weakness in Asian markets on trade war concerns.

Selling pressure on IT, Teck and oil & gas stocks, too, weighed on market sentiment. The 30-share index slipped 60.10 points, or 0.18 per cent, to 32,536.44. The benchmark had lost 539.64 points in the previous two sessions.
