Domestic benchmark indices extended their losing streak for a second consecutive session today, pressured by increased volatility ahead of the weekly derivatives expiry. The market’s subdued tone also reflected the absence of fresh triggers, as investors looked ahead to the June-quarter earnings season and kept an eye on developments in the long-pending India-US trade deal. At close, the Sensex was down 345 points or 0.41 percent at 83,190 and the Nifty50 was down 121 points or 0.47 percent at 25,355.
