Broadly negative Asian markets, along with a slightly weak rupee and a marginal rise in global crude oil prices dragged the key domestic equity indices in the red during Friday’s trade session.
The Indian rupee opened on a weaker note at 73.62 to a US dollar from its previous close against a greenback, whereas the Brent crude oil price neared the $80 per barrel mark.
In addition, heavy selling pressure in auto, IT and capital goods stocks led to the fall.
Index-wise, the S&P BSE Sensex opened at 34,563.29 points from its previous close of 34,779.58 points on last Wednesday.
