The three-day rise in equity benchmarks came to a stop in early trading on Friday due to a fairly negative trend in other Asian markets.

The 30-share BSE Sensex slipped 101.03 points to 62,171.65 in the opening minutes of trading. The more extensive NSE Nifty fell 24.20 points to 18,459.90.

Bajaj Finance, Nestle, Asian Paints, Hindustan Unilever, Infosys, Titan, Tata Consultancy Services, Power Grid, and ITC were some of the main underperformers from the Sensex pack.
