STOCKS

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

The benchmark BSE index is down 0.79 percent, while

the broader NSE index falls 0.87 percent, as Power Grid

Corp fell after saying it would sell new shares to raise funds,

while banks and consumer goods companies extended recent falls.

GOVERNMENT BONDS

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

The benchmark bond yield jumped 21 basis points to 8.28

percent on worries the central bank may need to take stronger

measures to prop up a currency that remains stuck near record

lows.

RUPEE

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

The Indian rupee weaker at 61.10/11 to the dollar from its

Thursday close of 60.43/44 ahead of crucial U.S. nonfarm

payrolls data which will likely further shape expectations about

whether the Federal Reserve will begin tapering down its

monetary stimulus this year.

The benchmark five-year overnight indexed swap rate up 7 bps

at 8.44 percent, while the one-year rate 1 bp higher at 9.37
