* MARKET COMMENTARY:
Indian stock markets continued to remain in fine fettle in late hours as sentiments remained sanguine on the back of encouraging move by Reserve bank of India which apart from keeping key policy rate unchanged for second straight time went on to cut the cash reserve ratio to 5.5% from 6% which underscores a cut of 50 basis points. Stocks from the rate sensitive banking counter kept gaining traction as the reduction in the CRR would result in infusion of around Rs 32,000 crore of primary liquidity into the banking system. Hefty buying was also evident in Capital Goods and high beta Realty index which traded with strong gains. On the global front, the markets that were open in Asia settled on a positive note. However, the European markets traded on a negative note as there was no headway in negotiations between European ministers and Greek bondholders over how to resolve the nation’s debt crisis. Back home, the market breadth was in favor of advances.
