After ending the previous week on a negative note, the Indian indices are set to open firm in today?s trade, tracking the strong path led by the global indices, as US markets closed with 1.65% gain and Asian markets trading higher. The investor sentiment seemed to be positive and markets may trade on a healthy note for the rest of the day.

Investors in India will be closely watching the economy?s GDP reading for the April-June quarter on Tuesday (August 31, 2010) that may have a bearing on the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)?s monetary policy decision in September.

Daily trend of FII/MF investment in equities
The foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were in a buying mode as they bought Indian equities worth a net of Rs156.60 crore on August 27, 2010, as compared to the net sellers of Rs290.40 crore on August 26, 2010. This shows that the foreign funds into Indian equities remains strong.

GLOBAL INDICES

The European stocks rose on Friday (August 27, 2010), led by telecoms and other defensive sectors, but it was not enough to stop an overall loss for the week as investors reacted to data that cast further doubt on the strength of the economic recovery. 

The US stocks rebounded to post their best gains in nearly four weeks on Friday, overcoming initial skittishness brought on by a revenue warning from Intel and dour comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.

The Asian markets were trading higher, following the Friday?s Wall Street gains and Japanese Nikkei rose more than 3% in early trades. SGX Nifty was trading 56 points higher, suggesting to have a strong start on the Dalal Street.

Commodity cues
The crude oil prices ended higher on Friday as equities on Wall Street rallied on reassurances from U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, as the crude oil futures for October delivery rose by $1.81, to settle at $75.17 a barrel.
