* MARKET COMMENTARY:
Indian equities continued its rally to edge higher in today’s session on back of buying which was visible across the sectors. Investors bought stocks across the board on the back of positive cues from Asian peers and on expectations of rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India. The market sentiment was also boosted by media reports that state governments in India have given their in-principle approval to a proposed national goods and service tax (GST), raising hopes that the ambitious tax reform could be included in the upcoming budget. The market breadth was quite strong. Traders were seen piling up the position in Realty, Bankex and Metal sector. Interest rate sensitive realty and banking stocks were in limelight on expectations that the RBI will start cutting interest rates in the coming months to prop up slowing economy. Investors are also setting their eyes on a handful of economic readings coupled with third quarter earnings of domestic companies like Infosys and HDFC, which will further determine the direction of stock markets. Infosys will kick off the earning season for the December quarter on Thursday January 12, 2012. Data on industrial production for November 2011 will be released on January 12, 2012, and data on inflation for December 2011 will be released on January 14, 2012, could provide cues for the central bank's likely policy stance at the third quarter review of Monetary Policy 2011-12 scheduled on January 24, 2012. On the global front, all Asian markets traded in green while the European markets were too trading in green on optimistic note. Germany and France warned Greece yesterday that it will get no more bailout funds until it agrees with creditor banks on a bond swap and pressed for an early deal to avert a potential default in the euro zone's most debt-stricken nation.
