Mumbai: The benchmark BSE Sensex shed about 68 points to trade at 35,196.44 in early deals on Tuesday on sustained capital outflows by foreign funds amid selling pressure on some counters and weak Asian cues.

Sustained buying by domestic institutional investors (DIIs) and short-covering of outstanding positions by speculators ahead of tomorrow’s June series expiry in the derivatives segment also supported the uptrend, brokers said.
