Snapping its three-day rising streak, domestic equity benchmark BSE Sensex ended 194 points lower on Wednesday, dragged by losses in banking and auto stocks amid weak global cues.

During the day, the index touched a low of 11,866.35 and a high of 11,962.45.

Other losers included Maruti, Kotak Bank, Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj Auto, IndusInd Bank and Bajaj Finance, that shed up to 1.79 per cent.
On the other hand, Tata Steel, ONGC, Vedanta, Sun Pharma, TCS, RIL, HUL and ITC bucked the weak market trend and gained up to 2.60 per cent.
According to experts, the market mood turned negative tracking weak cues from overseas markets after US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he was not interested in a trade deal with China unless it agreed to four-five major points.
