| | STOCK TO WATCH |  | | | | | | | FOREX |  | | | | | | | | | | | | INDIAN INDICES |  | | | | | | Indices | Support | Resistance | | | | | After ending the previous session on a higher note, the Indian indices are expected to take a breather at the start. Japanese Nikkei fell more than 1% on poor gross domestic product (GDP) data, which weighed on the Asian indices. Following its Asian peers, the domestic markets are likely to open lower. The domestic indices may trade range-bound as the earnings season is over, which may fail to provide any support. The monthly inflation numbers are going to be announced today, which may lead to some volatility in the markets. Vedanta buyout of Cairn India is likely today, so stocks specific action may be seen in Sterlite Industries and Cairn India. | | | | | FII/MF ACTIVITIES |  | | | As on 13-08-2010 | FII (Rs cr) | MF* (Rs cr) | | Gross purchase | 3375.80 | 779.50 | | Gross sale | 2926.40 | 919.30 | | Net investment | 449.40 | (139.80) | | | | Daily trend of FII/MF investment in equities Foreign funds have bought Indian equities worth a net of Rs449.40 crore on August 13, 2010, substantially higher than Rs192.8 crore on Thursday (August 12, 2010). | | | | GLOBAL INDICES |  | | | | | | | The European shares made modest gains for a second straight day on Friday (August 13, 2010), but finished lower for the week as investors continued to worry about the strength of the economic recovery.
