Major headlines
Now also get commodity calls in this report!!!

Indian indices
The F&O expiry day was a volatile one with the benchmark indices recovering in the last hour of trade. Indian equities ended lower for the second straight day and closed today's session on a flat note led by weak cues across the board. Negative sentiments which prevailed through the month kept the market under pressure throught the day. Traders remained cautious as volatility persisted. The opening of the European indices also weighed on the sentiments. 

Weakness in index heavyweights like Infosys, L&T, TCS, ITC, Bharti Airtel, SBI and HDFC Bank also pushed the markets lower. 

Owing to reports that the Department of Telecom is set to impose Rs1000 crore fine on Airtel, Vodafone and Idea for violating 3G licence conditions, the telecom majors reported major losses today.

Market Outlook: Data to be released in the US on Thursday is:- GDP and Jobless Claims.

Market sentiment
The market breadth stood in favour of advances. Of the 2914 stocks traded on the BSE, 1539 (52.81%) rose, 1270 (43.58%) fell and 105 (3.60%) remained unchanged.

Viewing volumes
An integrated infrastructure development company - Lanco Infratech was traded the most, with over 0.58 crore shares changing hands on the BSE. Following that a real estate development company - HDIL (0.46 crore shares), Wind turbine major - Suzlon Energy (0.33 crore shares), India's second largest developer - Unitech (0.23 crore shares) and Industrial Finance Company - IFCI (0.22 crore shares).
Sectoral & stock screening
Among the 13 sectoral indices, seven closed in red. The topmost gainers were - BSE HC which gained 0.92%, BSE CD advanced 0.88% and BSE Auto up 0.67%. Topmost losers were - BSE CG which dipped by 1.61%, BSE IT fell 1.17% and BSE TECk slid 1.01%

Among 'A' group stocks, top three gainers were - Ranbaxy Laboratories which gained 7%, Adani Enterprises advanced 5.90% and Opto Circuits surged 5.13%. Top three losers were - JSW Ispat Steel which dropped 4.27%, IDBI Bank fell 3.87% and Oil India declined 3.84%.

Global signals
European markets were also under pressure for third day in a row taking cues from the US and Asian markets. Concerns over a slowdown in global growth following lower-than-expected U.S. macro data were the main reasons for markets to trade lower.

The Asian stock markets slipped today, as concerns about growth prospects in the world's two largest economies, the United States and China, prompted investors to trim their risk exposure ahead of the end of the quarter.

Stock index futures pointed to a slightly higher opening on the Wall Street on Thursday.
