The benchmark index Nifty slipped for the second straight session, ending almost flat with a modest decline of 27 points at 26,175. The index gave up about 150 points from its recent all-time high of 26,322, mainly due to profit-booking by investors after the strong rally.
On the global front, U.S. markets were weak, with both the Dow and Nasdaq closing in the red. In contrast, sentiment in Asian markets was mixed, with Japan’s Nikkei trading about 0.5% higher, providing some regional support.

S&P 500 0.34%,

FII/DII action
Foreign institutional investors net sold shares worth Rs 1,171.31 crore on Monday. DIIs, meanwhile, were net buyers at Rs 2,558.93 crore.
Rupee
The Indian rupee slid to a record low on Monday, pressured by maturing non-deliverable forward positions alongside a persistent bearish pall on the currency as India remains the among the few major economies without a trade deal with U.S. The rupee hit a low of 89.7575 during the session before closing at 89.5475, down 0.1% on the day.
Weakness in trade and investment flows has kept the rupee under pressure this year despite India's status as the fastest growing major economy in the world, which has helped local stock indexes rise to record highs in recent sessions.
Traders said that maturity of large positions in the NDF market hurt the rupee on Monday. However, dollar-selling intervention by the central bank helped the currency hold above the psychologically important 90 level, they added.
