Global jitters, dissatisfying Rail Budget shake mrkts; Sensex slips 300 pts

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

Indian indices
The key indices opened lower today and maintained the same trend for the entire day amid volatility ahead of key economic announcemnts. Heavy selling in index heavyweights and Rail stocks dragged markets lower. The broader markets too ended in red. Nifty marked its longest losing streak since November 27, 2012. The major highlight today was railway budget which was presented in parliament hinting scarcity of funds as a concern and on a rising cost of fuel and electricity and other expenses, ministry preferred to restrict capex and raised freight rate only while kept passenger fare untouched.

Movement of the Indian indices for the day:
Markets tracked selloff on world equity markets after Italy's inconclusive election result sent safe-haven German bond yields sharply lower as investors feared a resurgence of the euro zone debt crisis. Selling pressure in all the sectors weighed on the sentiments leading to a weak market breadth.

Operating Ratio of 88.8% as compared to 94.9% in 2011-12.

On currency front, the rupee fell by 22 paise to Rs54.09 at the Interbank Foreign Exchange, due to dollar demand from importers.

The Sensex closed at 19015.14, down by 316.55 points and the Nifty fell by 93.40 points to settle at 5761.35 in trade today.

    Passenger service starts with modernization of online ticketing and catering.This fact has been neglected by the previous Railway Ministers.Its good that it has been realized that there is more than just inaugurating and flagging of New Trains and Sulabh Sauchalays
