Yesterday, the Indian indices ended on strong note ignoring all the negative cues from the globe. The positive triggers back home helped the domestic markets to trade in green while the its global peers were trading in red. But, today, the Indian indices may have to see a reversal trend. There will be a gap-down opening on the cards for the markets. 

The investors across the globe witnessed an intense selling pressure amid growing fears that Europe's debt crisis could spread around the world. An unexpected increase in US jobless claims also added to the pessimism.

The Asian shares were sharply lower on Friday, hit by the Wall Street's slump. The Indian indices may plunge in the early trading, following a brutal day on the Wall Street where stocks took their deepest tumble in more than a year. The fears across the globe have made the investors jittery.

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 Europe debt fears around the globe, which as hit the market sentiments the most. 

The earnings of ITC are later to be announced today ? the stock will be closely eyed. Also there is a new listing on the bourses today, Jaypee Infratech, a subsidiary of Jaiprakash Associates. Its issue price has been fixed at Rs102 per share, at lower end of price band of Rs102-107.

GLOBAL INDICES

The European shares fell for a second session on Thursday to a two-week closing low, with poor US economic numbers and growing anxiety over possible tougher regulation in the Euro-zone unsettling investors.

The US stocks sank nearly 4% on Thursday on growing fears that the Euro zone's efforts to tackle its sovereign debt crisis will fall short, jeopardising the global economic recovery.

In today's trade, the Asian markets were trading on a negative note. At the time of writing this report, SGX Nifty was trading 110 points lower.

In the commodity space, the crude oil prices fell Thursday, as stocks got hammered on worries about spreading European debt problems, with the Nymex light crude oil for the June series declined by $1.86 per barrel, whereas in the metals space, the Comex Gold for the June series dipped by $4.80 and the Comex Silver for the June series was down by $0.40 to a troy ounce respectively.
