The Bombay Stock Exchange benchmark Sensex opened 182 points down on Thursday, tracking a weak global trend, on profit-selling by funds at prevailing higher levels after the recent hefty gains.
The 30-share barometer, which touched the 15,000 mark in intra-day trade yesterday after nine months, fell 181.86 points to 14,689.04 in the first five minutes of the day's trade.
The wide-based National Stock Exchange index Nifty was also down 54.35 points at 4,476.35.
Marketmen said selling pressure picked up on the domestic bourses, in line with a weak trend in the global markets, with investors locking in cash after a strong rally.
