Key benchmarks reversed trend and slipped into negative terrain. Investors turned cautious ahead of the Union Budget on Saturday. Global stock markets too were under pressure after the death toll and incidence rate of the Wuhan coronavirus escalated over the weekend.
The BSE benchmark Sensex today settled 188 points or 0.46 per cent lower, at 40,967.
The broader Nifty too slipped before ending 63 points, or 0.52 per cent, lower at 12,056.
