What's Happening, and Where, on May 15

We expect Indian markets to open on flat to positive note ahead on counting of votes tomorrow in anticipation that NDA led government led by Narendra Modi will come to power and likely to charge India economic growth story. Global cues are not very relevant at the moment as market concentrates on local elections. US Stocks drop with Treasury yields. Europe shares closed mixed as investors eying ECB policy. Asian markets are also mixed. FIIs data yesterday was decent as they bought Rs 1520 crs in cash segment. However, they sold Rs 102 crs in index futures and Rs 1367 crs in stock futures.
