The Indian equity markets remained deep in the red during most of the trading hours on Wednesday, but finally recovered towards the fag-end to close lower by slightly more than a percent.

Following global cues, as also domestic developments, key Indian indices had reacted adversely to the victory of Republican candidate Donald Trump in the US presidential election and the government's decision on Tuesday evening to demonetise Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes.

After crashing 1,688 points, or 6.12 percent, in early trade on Wednesday, the Sensex regained a large part of the losses to close lower by around 338.61 points, or 1.23 percent, at 27,252.53 points against the previous close of 27,591.14 points.

At the National Stock Exchange, the Nifty closed at 8,432 points, down 111.55 points, or 1.31 percent.
