The markets have opened on a weak note tracking weakness in the Asian peers. Also, investors remain cautious ahead of the macro data which will be unveiled later in the day. The government will unveil data on inflation based on the consumer price index (CPI) for April and industrial production (IIP) data for March for March later today.
However, the government's decision to ease its combative stance on MAT demand, accompanied by a decline in global crude oil prices, hopes of a rate cut by Reserve Bank of India and the likelihood of a normal monsoon is likely to dictate the trend on the bourses during the trading session.
The 30-share Sensex is down 87 points at 27,419levels and the 50-share Nifty has lost 36 points to quote at 8,289.
The benchmark indices ended at the yesterday session on a strong note, touching one-week highs, led by strong buying in metal, auto and banking shares.
Among key corporate earnings, Dr Reddy's Laboratories, Ashok Leyland, Central Bank of India, Motherson Sumi Systems, Union Bank of India, Pantaloons Fashion and Vijaya Bank among others will announce their quarter ended 31 March 2015 earnings today.
