Extending its slide for the third day in a row, the BSE benchmark Sensex lost another 67 points in early trade on Wednesday, with shares of banking, oil and gas and metal sectors remaining under pressure, on continued foreign capital outflows amid weak global cues.

The 30-share Sensex, which had lost over 240 points in the past two sessions, declined by 67.05 points, or 0.39 per cent to 16,810.11 in early trade. The wide-based National Stock Exchange index Nifty also drifted by 21.85 points, or 0.43 per cent, to 5,011.20.
