STOCKS

-----------------------

India's BSE index down 0.15 percent and the broader NSE

index lower 0.16 percent, fell to their lowest levels in 2013 as

drug maker Dr. Reddy's retreated a day after reporting a

larger-than-expected fall in quarterly earnings, while software

service exporters fell on profit-taking.

GOVERNMENT BONDS

-------------------------------

India's benchmark 10-year government bond

yield up 1 basis point (bp) at 7.83 percent on profit-taking

after yields fell to their lowest in a month, with optimism

prevailing in the lead up to the 2013/14 budget as investors bet

on a fiscally disciplined government.

RUPEE

--------------

The rupee at 54.22/23 per dollar versus its previous close

of 53.92/93, hurt by weaker local shares and a slump in the euro

following weak economic growth data.

INTEREST RATE SWAPS

-------------------------------------

The benchmark five-year OIS rate steady at 7.24 percent,

while the one-year rate unchanged at 7.60 percent.

CALL MONEY

--------------------

India's overnight cash rate ended at 7.75/7.85 percent,

little changed from its previous close of 7.80/7.90 percent.
