Pri Market Commentary ...

Today, the bulls may continue the recent run of good form for this all weekas well following the Federal Reserve's move to slash interest rates to near zero level. US shares ended sharply higher on the central bank's promise to do more in order to check the economic slump. The Dow gained 4.2% while the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 rallied well over 5%. European stocks too closed higher while Asian indices this morning too are on a strong wicket. Given the backdrop of a worldwide rally and resumption in FII inflows, we see the Indian market opening firm today. Having said that, Tuesday's advance came on lower volume and turnover. Buying from foreign funds was negligible while local institutions were marginal net sellers. The key indices could take a pause after rising sharply over the past few sessions.

It remains to be seen whether the current momentum can be sustained, as the bulls still lack conviction.
