Indices
State Bank of India bucked the trend and was trading higher. Mid cap stocks saw some buying interest at lower levels with stocks like CESC, Crompton Greaves, JSW Energy and Divis Labs seeing buying interest in trade.

Software stocks which have been seeing huge interest saw some selling pressure with stocks like HCL Tech, Infosys and Wipro falling.

Brokers said apart from profit-booking in recent gainers, trimming of positions by speculators in view of tomorrow's monthly expiry in the derivatives segment, influenced sentiments.

Besides, a mixed trend on other Asian bourses following a lower closing in the US markets in yesterday's trade, triggered selling at domestic markets.

Meanwhile, Asian markets were trading flat with a slight negative bias.
