Domestic equity benchmark BSE Sensex fell over 150 points in early trade today dragged by losses in banking and IT stocks amid negative global cues. The 30-share index was trading 158.33 points, or 0.40%, lower at 39,792.13 at 0940 hours. US President Donald Trump said he was not interested in a trade deal unless China agreed to four-five major points. They said, ‘We don’t want to have four major points, five major points’ So we changed it. Elsewhere in Asia, bourses in China, Japan and Korea were trading on a weak note in their respective early sessions.
