MARKETS TO CaONSOLIDATE IN 7350 - 7200 RANGE. FIIS CASH SELLING YESTERDAY MAY WEIGH

      We expect Indian markets to open on flat to positive note despite FIIs cash data yesterday was not so encouraging.FIIs yesterday sold Rs 104 crs in cash markets and Rs 1014 crs in stock futures. However, they bought Rs 552 crs in index futures. Global cues are muted though we are not so much focused on them as domestic developments are on radar. U.S. shares declined for the first time in three sessions with the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing at its lowest level in almost a month. European shares closed slightly down on Tuesday, as investors remained cautious regarding stock valuations, the
possibility of policy action from the ECB, and upcoming elections. Asian stocks are also trading lower. Sensex marginally up by 14 points to close at 24377. However, BSE mid-cap and small cap Indices surged 2% and 3% respectively. Tech stocks bounced back after the fall of last few sessions. Metal,
Realty and Telecom stocks witnessed smart rally.
