At 10:17 hours IST, the benchmark Sensex was trading marginally lower on weak Asian cues and profit booking after more than 400 points rally in previous two days. Private financial, FMCG, technology, telecom, metal and power companies' shares along with Tata Motors, Reliance Industries, BHEL and ACC were putting pressure on the markets.

However, buying in L&T, SBI, DLF, ONGC, JSPL, Hero Honda and M&M along with healthcare companies' shares was quite supportive and capped the losses to some extent.
