MARKET COMMENTARY:
As mentioned in our morning note the Indian benchmarks  witnessed a sluggish movement moving in a narrow range in the absence of participation of foreign institutional investors. Further  gains were trimmed in the late afternoon session as investors have started booking profits in the frontline blue chip counters. Few traders were seen piling up position in Consumer Durables, and IT sector while selling was being witnessed in Auto, Power and Capital Goods sector.  In the scrip specific development, cable companies including Hathway and WWIL rallied in the session after Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)’s notification on digitizing cable TV distribution which recommended a mandatory 'carriage fee' - or, the money that broadcasters have to pay to cable companies for them to carry their channel.  On the global front, all the Asian markets were trading in green while the European markets were trading mixed. Investors added positions with conviction ahead of a slew of economic reports due out from the Euro-zone later in the day. On the home turf, overall the market breadth was neutral.
