Snapping its two-session rising streak, the benchmark BSE Sensex fell over 150 points in early trade today as investors offloaded positions ahead of March F&O expiry and financial year ending. A weak trend at other Asian bourses after a sharp fall on Wall Street, driven by technology stocks, also weighed on market sentiment here. The NSE Nifty fell by 59.40 points, or 0.58 per cent, to 10,124.75 in early trade. Investors are cutting bets on the last trading session of March F&O expiry and the end of financial year 2017-18, brokers said. Elsewhere in Asia, Hong Kong's Hang Seng shed 1.29 per cent, while Japan's Nikkei was down 1.77 per cent in early trade today.
