 Market Commentary 
Market recovers on FM?s speech
Finance Minister?s optimistic economic outlook helps bulls recover part of lost turf.
Global signals
European shares rose on early trades with gains for Royal Bank of Scotland and Credit Agricole after they reported results, 
 
outweighing lower commodity stocks. At the time of writing this report, FTSE 100 was up 0.18%.  

All the major Asian indices except Shanghai Composite closed red. SGX Nifty closed 6 points down.

US stock futures opened lower on Thursday, signifying a weaker start for Wall Street as investors continue to be cautious on US Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke?s testimony on monetary policy and state of economy.

Indian indices
Domestic markets ended the lacklustre though volatile session flat. The strong global cues helped Indian indices open higher with a gap-up of nine points at 16264. However it soon slipped and never saw that level through the day. In the mid session it made the low of 16167 points, but it soon recovered and went into positive zone following Finance Minister?s speech and optimistic economic outlook presented in the economic survey. However, as per the prevailing trend in the market over the last few weeks, the markets ended flat, down 1.77 points.
