MARKET TODAY
Key benchmark indices are likely to open on a subdued note following
weak cues from the Asian peers. Wall Street ended mixed yesterday as
the Dow and Nasdaq fought off red ink with a fresh batch of positive
earnings reports. Asian stock markets tumbled in the morning trade as
investors indulging in some heavy profit taking after recent strong
gains with tech stocks were leading the broader market lower. However,
expectations of good fourth quarter result by India Inc should limit
the fall.
According to data released by the NSE, in the last session, FIIs were
