Indian stock market and companies daily report (March 30, 2012, Friday)

The Indian markets are expected to open in the red tracing negative opening in most of the Asian indices. Asian stocks fell for a second day as growth in U.S. durable-goods orders trailed estimates.

The US markets drifted lower over the course of the day on account of profit booking as some traders cashed in on the recent strength in the markets amid calls by a number of analysts for a correction. Traders also reacted negatively to the latest batch of U.S. economic data, including a report from the Labor Department showing that weekly jobless claims came in above economist estimates. However the indices recovered significantly in the later sessions and eventually ended up near the opening.

Indian shares extended losses for a second consecutive session on Thursday, as concerns about growth prospects in the world's two largest economies prompted investors to square off long positions on the expiry of March series derivative contracts.
