Equity benchmarks opened marginally lower on Wednesday following weak global cues. The Sensex slipped 13.61 points to 26258.36 and the Nifty fell 4.75 points to 7847.65. About 437 shares have advanced, 315 shares declined, and 28 shares are unchanged. Shares of Sesa Sterlite, Infosys, Hindalco Industries, Sun Pharma, Gail India, NMDC and Jindal Steel were down 0.8-1.6 percent while NTPC, ONGC, Bharti Airtel, M&M, HUL and Tata Power gained 0.5-1 percent. The Indian rupee opened flat at 61.46 per dollar on Wednesday as against previous day's closing value of 61.43 a dollar. Dollar bulls are being forced to temper their enthusiasm post weak German data and IMF cutting its global growth forecast - dollar index eases to 85.664 off its 4-year highs. NS Venkatesh of IDBI Bank says the rupee will continue to take the cues from the equity market flows. He expects the rupee to trade in the range of 61.4-61.6/dollar. On the global front, Asian markets were trading weak following negative US cues. In the US, stocks fell sharply, extending losses into a second session, as investors fretted slowing economic growth in Europe and the potential impact on coming third-quarter earnings from US corporations.
