On Friday Indian equity benchmarks made a gap-down opening, amid weak global cues. Markets are trading lower with around half a per cent cut, due to selling in Bankex, PSU and Telecom stocks. Weak macro-economic data also dampen sentiments in domestic markets. In the afternoon session Indian equity markets rebounded in positive territory and currently trading marginally higher.
