Considering the current scenario on Greece? debt concern, the market has been digesting the European Union stability plan quite well. However, the global markets hinge on the US and this is from where the economic strength will come. The Asian markets were trading lower considering the fall on the Wall Street, with Japanese exporters falling on the yen's recent strength. Following the weak Asian cues, the Indian markets head towards a negative start.

Going in to the session, the market is expected to remain volatile owing to monthly inflation for April readings, which are to be announced later today. Inflation is expected to ease to 9.5% in April. But rising demand outstripping increases in supply capacity has given rise to new inflationary pressures.

The foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have been the net sellers for the week; they have been more cautious and interested to stay away from the market on the back of Greece? contagion fears around the globe.

The Sensex gained 561 points on the first day of the week, which did not remain supportive. The Sensex had been volatile all through this week and remained choppy. In the last four trading sessions of this week, the Sensex gained by 496 points.

GLOBAL INDICES

The European shares edged up on Thursday as strong earnings from Baker Technology and Sainsbury offset rising concerns that fiscal tightening in Europe could result in a slowdown in the region's growth.

The US stocks fell on Thursday as downbeat comments on the economy from tech company Cisco Systems Inc and retail chain Kohl's Corp cast doubt on the strength of the US recovery.

In today's trade, the Asian markets were trading on a negative note following the Wall Street?s weakness. At the time of writing this report, SGX Nifty was trading 15.5 points lower.
