Sensex index hits 1-1/2 week low; L&T, ICICI fall

Reuters Market Eye - The BSE Sensex falls 0.19 percent to its lowest level since June 5 while the broader Nifty is 0.25 percent lower, heading for their second straight day of declines.

Domestic-oriented stocks fall on profit-taking: Larsen & Toubro falls 2 percent while ICICI Bank is down 1.1 percent.

Falls also track weak Asian stocks as crude extended gains and tested nine-month highs on fears the insurgency in Iraq could worsen and affect oil exports.

However, Tata Consultancy Services Ltd gains 1.2 percent after the company kept its outlook on first-quarter margins and revenue unchanged on Friday.
