Profit booking, coupled with negative global cues and a weak rupee, pulled the Indian equities markets lower during the mid-afternoon trade session on Tuesday. Besides, investors were cautious ahead of the monetary policy review of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The key indices traded in the red, as selling pressure was witnessed in automobile, metal and IT (information technology) stocks. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

Moreover, flat crude oil prices and a weak rupee also added to the downward trend of the markets. Firm USD/INR futures prices pressurised the price movement of the Indian equities markets. IT (information technology) stocks traded down due to selling pressure, while oil-gas, textile, aviation, media-entertainment, cement and power sector stocks traded with bearish sentiments due to profit booking at higher levels.
