| Indian indices
Yesterday the Indian market had rallied sharply on the news of European Union along with the International Monetary Fund declaring $1 trillion bailout package to stop rising Greece' debt crisis from spreading to other Euro zone as well as other regions of globe. However, today the market failed to continue its momentum, washing away previous session?s gains and declined tracking Asian peers. The markets around the globe turned negative reacting to concerns over implementation of $1 trillion package. Moody's Investors Service, in an unusual move regarding its sovereign ratings process, said on Monday it may downgrade its ratings on Portugal, and Greece' rating could fall to as low as junk. Higher inflation for April 2010 in China raised worries of further monetary tightening in the country. China's consumer prices rose a more-than-estimated 2.8% in April from a year earlier, the fastest pace in 18 months, another data showed industrial production, which surged 17.8% in April from a year earlier, after an 18.1% gain in March.
