SGX Nifty is at 15,003.80 levels, higher 65.75 points. (Updated at 7:40 AM)

The Nifty succumbed to profit-booking in large-cap stocks in the last hour as weak global cues saw local funds selling intensify, leading the index lower by over 125 points.

Bank Nifty also saw weakness falling nearly 1% as ICICI, HDFC & Kotak saw selling pressure.

The real revelation has been mid-cap stocks resilience in this fall with new highs being hit as markets chase value rather than growth.
