Mumbai, Dec. 2 -- The domestic share market opened on a weak note on Tuesday as both the benchmark indices slipped into negative territory, weighed down by a falling rupee and continued foreign portfolio investor (FPI) outflows.

The Nifty 50 index opened at 26,146.00, marking a decline of -29.75 points (-0.11 per cent), while the BSE Sensex started the session at 85,523.17, down -118.73 points or -0.14 per cent.

Market experts said investor sentiment turned negative after the currency weakened and FPIs continued to pull out funds from Indian equities.

Markets had touched fresh highs during Monday's opening but failed to sustain those levels. The latest peak now stands at 26,325.80 for the Nifty and 86,159.02 for the Sensex.
