Markets Fall in Early Trade

Mumbai: Equity benchmark indices fell in early trade on Thursday in line with weak trends in global markets amid lack of any breakthrough in the US debt ceiling talks.

However, later both indices Sensex and Nifty turned volatile and were oscillating between highs and lows.

The 30-share BSE Sensex fell 75.1 points to 61,698.68 in early trade after beginning the day on a weak note. The NSE Nifty dipped 31.05 points to 18,254.35 in initial trade.
