Indian equity markets closed in the red on Thursday, with Sensex and Nifty settling lower amid global trade concerns and profit booking. While broader markets outperformed, benchmark indices struggled due to losses in banking, IT, and pharma stocks.

- BSE Sensex: Down 203.22 points (-0.27%) at 75,735.96
- Day’s Range: 75,794.15 – 75,463.01
- NSE Nifty50: Down 19.75 points (-0.09%) at 22,913.15
- Day’s Range: 22,923.85 – 22,812.75
