Indian Indices:  Asian markets opened weak with the exception of the Japanese 'Nikkei" index which traded higher on the back of a weaker yen. Initial reaction to the Federal Reserve rate hike saw bond yields rise & the US $ get stronger which as a follow through will see most Asian indices trade in the red.

For today expect smart money to buy the fall as we head closer to 8100 as nearness to budget in next 45 days should see value buying emerge.
