The benchmark BSE Sensex fell over 133 points in early trade on Wednesday due to selling in IT stocks after TCS’ second quarter earnings failed to impress investors. Besides, a weak trend on other Asian bourses and overnight losses at the US markets also dampened the trading sentiment here.
Here is a list of stocks which are likely to remain in focus today:
