Market mood may fall

The Bombay Stock Exchange will remain open for trading on Wednesday.

Officials said the exchange was keeping all its systems and staff ready for trading. Arrangements had also been made for staff to stay back on Tuesday night.

"We do not know what the response would be, and how many traders would log in; but, from our side, we are keeping the systems ready," said a highly placed exchange official.

The NSE is expected to follow suit, though exchange officials could not be contacted for confirmation.

Meanwhile, Indian ADRs were trading down. Infosys had lost 2.79 per cent, and was trading in the range of $74.68 to $76.98. MTNL lost 2.98 per cent in early trade, and was quoting at $6.28. VSNL shed close to 4.5 per cent, and was trading at $16.52.

Brokers and analysts foresaw trading in the next few days to be impacted because of the serial blasts today.

The bourses were poised to open to Infosys' results on Wednesday morning, but the sentiment would be glum, they said.
