Sensex, Nifty open lower on weak cues amid profit booking

Domestic benchmarks opened lower on Wednesday on weak global cues amid debt ceiling negotiations in the US, while analysts expect investors to book profits after a 5 per cent rise in Nifty 50 in FY24 so far.

While Nifty 50 was down 0.12 per cent at 18,265.30, the S&P BSE Sensex fell 0.14 per cent to 61,853.14 in early trade.
