Markets End 3-Day Winning Streak; Sensex Falls 110 Points

On Tuesday, the benchmark Sensex fell 110 points after a three-day rally, owing to profit-taking in select private bank and auto companies on weak US market trends and foreign fund outflows.

The top gainers were Mahindra & Mahindra, Nestle, Tata Motors, and IndusInd Bank.

Among the laggards were Kotak Mahindra Bank, HCL Technologies, ICICI Bank, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, and Larsen & Toubro.

In Asian markets, Shanghai fell, while Tokyo, Seoul, and Hong Kong closed higher.

Wall Street closed largely down on Monday.

Brent crude gained 1.61 percent to USD 88.83 a barrel.

According to exchange data, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold securities worth Rs 522.30 crore on Monday.

In its third straight day of advances, Sensex surged 363.20 points or 0.49 percent to 74,014.55, while Nifty advanced 135.10 points or 0.61 percent to 22,462.
