India, Oct. 19 -- Indian stock markets remain closed today on account of Dussehra. Benchmark indexes Sensex and Nifty fell over 1 percent each on Monday due to concerns over persistent foreign investor outflows and elevated crude oil prices in international markets. Investors also assessed September-quarter earnings from prominent private banks.

The rupee gave up early gains to settle 3 paise lower at 94.92 against the U.S. dollar, snapping its six-session winning streak.
