GLOBAL INDICES

The European shares fell on Friday, with banking shares declined after the results from Barclays failed to impress investors and as Goldman Sachs tumbled 8% following a broker downgrade.

The US stocks tumbled on Friday to close out the worst week since January as news of a criminal probe into Goldman Sachs unnerved investors already anxious about the prospects for heavy regulation from Washington.

In today's trade, the Asian markets were trading in the negative territory. At the time of writing this report, SGX Nifty was trading 23.5 points lower.

Commodity cues
In the commodity space, the crude oil prices jumped Friday for the third straight day as optimism about the economic recovery and a weaker dollar boosted the appeal of crude, with the Nymex light crude oil for the June series rose by $0.98 per barrel, whereas in the metals space, the Comex Gold for the June series rose by $11.70 and the Comex Silver for the June series was up by $0.06 to a troy ounce respectively.
