Benchmark indices ended lower on Wednesday tracking weaker Asian markets, weighed down by the consumer, metal and pharma stocks. 

Globally, Asian stocks stumbled after weaker crude oil prices took a toll on Wall Street, while the euro kept big gains after enjoying a boost from robust German economic growth.

Oil prices fell over 1% on Wednesday, after the International Energy Agency cast doubts over the past few months’ narrative of tightening fuel markets. On the supply side, rising US output also pressured prices.

Back home, trade deficit widened to $14.02 billion in October 2017 as against $11.13 billion in October 2016. Export declined by 1.12 per cent to $23 billion during the month under review, retreating from a six-month high growth in September as shipments of textiles, pharmaceuticals, leather and gems and jewellery fell, official data showed.
