Stock markets snapped the three-day gaining run on Tuesday with benchmark Sensex dropping by 110 points due to profit-taking in select private bank and auto shares amid weak trends from the US markets and foreign fund outflows.

The broader NSE Nifty dipped 8.70 points or 0.04 per cent to 22,453.30. Both Sensex and Nifty scaled lifetime high levels in intra-day trade on Monday before settling around 0.5% higher. -- PTI
