| March 29, 2012 | 5:30 PM | Market ends flat on F&O expiry day The Indian markets closed the trade lower for the second straight day on account of F&O expiry | | | | | | Major headlines | | 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. | | INDEX PERFORMANCE |  | | | | | MARKET INDICATORS |  | | | | | | Ranbaxy Laboratories | 447.00 | 7.00 | | Adani Enterprises | 300.85 | 5.90 | | Opto Circuits | 199.25 | 5.13 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While Bharti Airtel fell by a startling 2.3%, Idea Cellular reported a decline by 2.5%.

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. | | | | Commodity Hit List for 29-3-2012 | | Support Levels | LTP | Resistance Levels | Action | S2 | S1 | R1 | R2 | Gold Cash USD ($) | 1632.0 | 1654.0 | 1660.0 | 1674.0 | 1688.0 | Sell below S1 | Gold MCX April | 27741.0 | 28085.0 | 28119.0 | 28192.0 | 28425.0 | Sell below S1 | Silver Cash USD ($) | 31.1 | 31.8 | 32.0 | 32.2 | 32.9 | Buy Above R1/Sell below S1 | Silver MCX April | 55901.0 | 56450.0 | 56582.0 | 56923.0 | 57395.0 | Buy Above R1/Sell below S1 | Copper MCX April | 422.5 | 426.7 | 430.4 | 437.0 | 440.4 | Sell below S1 | Zinc MCX April | 100.1 | 101.3 | 101.8 | 102.5 | 103.5 | Sell below S1 | Nickel MCX April | 873.6 | 891.0 | 896.1 | 902.0 | 912.1 | Sell below S1 | Aluminium MCX April | 106.0 | 108.2 | 108.5 | 110.7 | 112.7 | Sell below S1 | Lead MCX April | 99.1 | 100.5 | 100.9 | 101.4 | 103.2 | Sell below S1 | Crude Oil USD ($) | 104.7 | 105.1 | 105.4 | 106.5 | 107.8 | Buy Above R1/Sell below S1 | Crude Oil MCX April | 5285.0 | 5386.0 | 5409.0 | 5420.0 | 5436.0 | Sell below S1 | Natural Gas MCX April | 112.7 | 116.4 | 117.8 | 119.5 | 121.6 | Buy Above R1/Sell below S1 | | | | | Visit www.sharekhan.com to manage your newsletter subscriptions | | |  | | | | | | To know more about our products and services, click here. | | | | | | | Sharekhan Ltd.
