Snapping its five-day rising streak, the BSE benchmark Sensex fell from its recently created records by losing 264.57 points as funds and retail investors booked profits amid a mixed trend in other Asian markets.
The 30-share index, which had gained 669.08 points in the previous five sessions, fell by 264.57, or 1.25 per cent, to 20,974.79.
All the sectoral indices led by Informational Technology and Banking stocks were trading in the negative zone.
Brokers said selling, mostly of a profit-booking nature, by funds after five sessions of gains amid a mixed trend at other Asian bourses, mainly influenced the trading sentiment.
