* MARKET COMMENTARY:

Indian benchmarks exhibited a volatile session and resumed the descent soon after the trades turned cautious on weaker than expected industrial production numbers which spooked investors’ sentiments. The index of industrial production (IIP) grew at 1.8% on year on year basis against consensus estimates of 2.8% while the IIP reading has also come in below the 5.9% growth rate in November. Traders were seen selling in Realty, Bankex and IT sector. Going forward, the market will take cues from government policy action and budget expectation. On the global front, all Asian markets were trading in red barring Shanghai Composite while the European markets were too trading on a pessimistic note. Investors remained nervous after European finance ministers demanded more steps overnight along with Greek parliament’s approval before releasing the aid. Back home, the market breadth was in favor of declines
