| | STOCK TO WATCH |  | | | | | | | FOREX |  | | | | | | | | | | | | INDIAN INDICES |  | | | | | | Indices | Support | Resistance | | | | | Today?s start is likely to be on a flat note following unsupportive Asian markets. As the Bank of China raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 3.25% for one-year deposits in local currency, and 6.31% for one-year loans, this has led to caution among the investors in the Asian region. The move, effective Wednesday, marks the fourth hike in less than six months and follows a spate of other tightening measures, including reserve requirement increases and efforts to curb bank lending and cool the property market. The Indian indices are expected to trade rangebound and may also witness volatility as the session progresses. | | | | | FII/MF ACTIVITIES |  | | | As on 05-04-2011 | FII (Rs cr) | MF* (Rs cr) | | Gross purchase | 9929.90 | 189.40 | | Gross sale | 5842.60 | 332.20 | | Net investment | 4087.30 | (142.90) | | | | Daily trend of FII/MF investment in equities The FIIs have bought Indian stocks worth a net of Rs4,087.30 crore on April 05, 2011 as compared to the net buy of Rs1,043.60 crore on March 31, 2011. The domestic investors have sold Indian shares worth a net of Rs142.90 crore on April 04, 2011. | | | | GLOBAL INDICES |  | | | | | | | The European indices edged up to their highest close in nearly four weeks on Tuesday (April 05, 2011), with energy firms gaining after further unrest in the Middle East pushed crude prices to a two-and-a-half year high. The S&P 500 failed to break a key technical resistance level for a second day on Tuesday as low trading volume raised further questions about the market's strength. The Asian markets were trading lower except Shanghai Composite, with many investors cautious as they watched how Chinese markets react to a rate tightening move there late Tuesday. SGX Nifty was trading 9 points higher. | | | | Commodity cues Brent crude jumped to a 2-1/2 year peak above $122 a barrel on Tuesday, gaining for a fourth straight day as conflict and unrest in Africa and the Middle East more than offset China's latest interest rate hike. | COMMODITIES |  | | | Commodity | Level ($) | Chg ($) | | | | | | | | | Manage your newsletter subscriptions | | | | To know more about our products and services, click here. | | | | Sharekhan Ltd.
