Mumbai, July 18 (IANS) Negative global cues along with profit booking dragged the Indian equity markets lower during the early morning trade session on Tuesday.
According to market analysts, both the key indices -- BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty -- opened on a negative note as stocks of bluechip firm ITC fell by around 13 per cent.
However, losses were contained due to positive quarterly results, healthy monsoon rains and stable domestic political developments.
