MARKET COMMENTARY:
Global risk aversion seemed to be taking its toll on stock markets in India in the Monday morning trades as the frontline equity indices got decimated by another close to two percentage points at the initial start but later key Indian equity benchmarks recovered smartly in the mid-afternoon trade after Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said in the parliament that GAAR will be implemented from next year. Meanwhile, there was some respite for market participants on the currency front, following the announcement made by the Finance Minister on GAAR, as the rupee recovered after initial losses against the US dollar in the late morning trade due to fresh selling of the American currency by banks and exporters. On global front the US markets went for sharp sell-off over the weekend on getting lower than expected jobs number, making it their worst weekly closing of the year so far. Concerns also exacerbated over the European debt crisis after French and Greek voters ousted respective incumbent parties in a backlash against austerity measures aimed at battling the euro zone crisis. Moreover, the broader markets traded on a bleak note the market breadth was in favor of advances towards the end.
