Back home, November expiry has been a mixed affair so far. Market-wide rollovers on the D-3 came in at 27% which is on the higher side compared to the average rollovers of 21% of the last three series. Nifty futures rollovers, meanwhile, stood at 32% which is also high compared to the average rollovers of 18% of the last three series.

Global cues remain muted for now, setting the stage for OPEC's meeting on Thursday and voting on US Tax reform bill."
