Views on markets today
·        Indian markets bounced back and closed positive yesterday supported by world equities on the back of Irish rescue deal, but investors eyed further developments on the local political situation. An agreement from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund to lend Ireland cash to tackle its banking and budget crisis gave positive sentiments to the investors. All the sectoral indices closed positive with banks, consumer durable, IT and real estate were major gainers. Reliance Industries rose 1.5% after it has safely restarted its crude distillation unit at its Jamnagar refinery.
·        Market breadth was strong at ~1.78x as investors bought large cap stocks. Both FIIs and domestic institutions bought equities worth `3.35bn and `2.12bn, respectively.
·        Asian shares are down today as investors continued to worry over Europe's debt crisis. Japanese markets were closed today for a public holiday while the Hang Seng index was down by over 1%.
