STOCKS

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

The benchmark BSE index down 0.15 percent, while the broader

activity shrank by the most in more than four years.

GOVERNMENT BONDS

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

The benchmark 10-year bond yield down 10 basis points at

8.07 percent, tracking a drop in U.S. Treasury yields after the

programme anytime soon.

RUPEE

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

The Indian rupee ended at 60.43/44 per dollar from 60.40/41

on Wednesday but staged a strong rebound from lows as the

Reserve Bank of India continued to bolster its currency defence

by tightening rules for curbing speculation by foreign

investors, and on rumoured central bank intervention.

The benchmark five-year overnight indexed swap rate down 4

bps at 8.37 percent, while the one-year rate 13 bps lower at

9.36 percent.
