Almost all the sectors are trading with moderate losses. However, auto and metal sectors are trading with slight gains. S&P BSE Midcap and S&P BSE Smallcap have underperformed the benchmark indices.

Indian rupee declined 0.3% or 0.12 and is available at Rs 62.33 against the U.S. Dollar.

European stocks have opened today's session on a negative note as investors remain wary of the Greece bailout. German DAX and France's CAC fell over 1% and 0.8%, respectively.

The information technology sector has lost about 1% in today's trading session. TCS, however, is trading between small losses and gains. IT bellwether Infosys has cracked over 1% after investors book profits. According to a leading financial source, Infosys and Accenture have inched closer towards finalizing a deal worth Rs 9 bn from Australia-based Macquaire Group. The tenure of the deal is reported to be 5 years and the areas that would be covered will include infrastructure management services, application development and testing.

Power stocks have mainly remained volatile in second half of the trading session. The renewable energy and debt-laden company Suzlon has received a nod from its shareholders to sell its German company Senvion and also to issue 1 bn preferential shares. The company was taken over Suzlon in 2007 for a consideration of Rs 73 bn. The proceeds from the sale will be used to cut the company's debt. Shares of the company gained over 1.5% in today's trading session.
