On Thursday, markets lost ground for the fourth straight session to end at their lowest closing level in four months, amid a sell-off in global stocks, after further depreciation of the Chinese yuan rekindled fears of a growth slowdown in the world's second largest economy while slump in crude oil prices also dampened sentiment.

Meanwhile, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) sold shares worth Rs 1051.74 crore on Thursday as per provisional data released by the stock exchanges.
