Indian stock markets closed in the red on Thursday.

On today’s market action, Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi said that the day was quite eventful with movement on both sides. The beginning was positive as global cues were favourable. The strength was derived from the US Markets, he added. Nifty traded in the range of 75 points moving between 17650 and 17725.

The last one-hour proved to be costly on account of two reasons. One was due to the monthly expiry today where profit booking was seen as the market had ample long positions and the second reason was that Dow shed some points and correction was also seen in European markets.

This was after a two-day recovery. 

Here are things to watch out for when markets reopen on Friday:
