Sensex Today: Indian equity markets opened on a weak note on Thursday—also the weekly F&O expiry for the Sensex—as sustained foreign fund outflows and continued pressure on the rupee weighed on sentiment. The rupee touched a fresh record low of 90.56 against the US dollar in early trade.

At 2 PM, BSE Sensex was at 85,055, down 52 points or 0.06 per cent and NSE Nifty50 quoted 25,976, down 9 points or 0.04 per cent.

Among Sensex stocks, Hindustan Unilever, Titan, Eternal, ICICI Bank, Power Grid Corporation, Trent, UltraTech Cement, Bajaj Finserv, Tata Motors (PV), NTPC, Bajaj Finance and HDFC Bank were among the top losers.

On the gaining side, Tata Consultancy Services, HCL Technologies, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Asian Paints and Bharti Airtel were the only stocks trading in the green.
