Caution over the ongoing results season and weak global cues coupled with reduced chances of a lending rate cut depressed investors leading to a barometer index of the Indian equities provisionally closing 63 points down on Tuesday.

Both the Indian bellwether indices had opened lower due to negative import-export data coming out of China. Even the healthy domestic macro data points released a day earlier were not able to arrest the slide in the day’s trade.

The wider 50-scrip Nifty of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) also closed marginally in the red. It was lower by 17 points or 0.21 percent at 8,126.60 points.
