The benchmark BSE Sensex fell about 25 points to 28,414.48 in early trade today on profit-booking by investors after recent gains, amid a weak trend in overseas markets.
The 30-share barometer fell 24.80 points, or 0.08 percent, to 28,414.48, with auto, banking, technology and IT stocks succumbing to the flurry in profit-booking.
The index had gained 783.32 points in the past four sessions. Also, the NSE Nifty slipped below the key 8,800-mark by falling 11.65 points, or 0.13 percent, at 8,789.40.
Brokers said that apart from profit-booking in recent gainers, a weak trend in other Asian bourses following overnight losses in the US and European markets, cut short the four-day march of the domestic bourses.
