Key US indices ended down Thursday as better-than-expected growth in retail sales in Nov fuelled concerns that the US Fed may start tapering its bond-buying programme soon.
Most Asian indices were down today tracking weakness in the US equities. Fundamentally speaking Indian indices are trading subdued as the November inflation rate based on the Consumer Price Index (combined), and October Index of Industrial Production data were disappointing. Weakness in global markets is also weighing on sentiments. India Nov CPI Combined inflation rate stood at 11.24%, while the IIP growth was at (-) 1.8% vs 8.4% year ago. However, in December, 2013, the inflation is expected to come down and at the same time, IIP figures could show a bit improvement due to seasonal effects. Moreover, FIIs on 12-Dec-2013, bought Indian Equities worth Rs.187.81 Cr.
