Cautious start!
"Things that are done, it is needless to speak about; things that are past it is needless to blame." - Confucius. What led to Friday’s freaky afternoon fall remains largely a mystery with the NSE swearing by the robustness of its systems. The sudden and swift selloff could not prevent the Indian indices from notching modest gains though. Another big event on Friday was the RIL’s Q4 earnings. While the headline PAT figure was in line with estimates, the problems for the energy and petrochemicals major are far from over. The RIL stock could remain under pressure for a while till there are visible signs of improvement in core business. The start today is likely to be more or less flattish. Asian markets are mostly trending lower, despite IMF bolstering its firepower for dealing with unforeseen accidents. Sentiment might improve after China’s so-called ‘flash’ manufacturing PMI climbed in April from March. However, the key gauge still shows contraction.
Mixed finish for bullions

Gold for June delivery advanced $1.40, or 0.1%, to settle at $1,642.80 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange on Friday. On the week, gold lost 1%. May silver slipped 13 cents, or 0.4%, to end at $31.65 an ounce on Friday. On the week, however, silver gained 0.8%.
Crude gains for first time in three days
Prices register minor weekly gains Crude futures ended higher on Friday, 20 April 2012 at Nymex breaking a two-day losing streak and notching modest weekly gains as the dollar fell on an upbeat German economic survey and U.S. corporate news spurred hopes for more oil demand. Lighty and sweet crude for delivery in May rose 78 cents, or 0.8%, to $103.05 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract expired at the end of floor trading Friday. On the week, prices climbed 0.2%.
Market may open lower on weak Asian stocks
The market may open lower on weak Asian stocks. Trading of S&P CNX Nifty futures on the Singapore stock exchange indicates a fall of 13.50 points at the opening bell. IT major, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) unveils FY 2012 results today, 23 April 2012. Index heavyweight Reliance Industries (RIL) after market hours Friday, 20 April 2012, reported 21.2% fall in net profit to Rs 4236 crore on 16.7% rise in turnover to Rs 87833 crore in Q4 March 2012 over Q4 March 2011.

Commenting on the results, Mukesh D. Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director, RIL said: "Our businesses have delivered industry leading performances.
