The Indian markets opened flat to negative tracking negative opening in most of the Asian markets owing to concerns about the outlook for the Federal Reserve's asset purchase program.US markets recovered from an early decline and ended in positive territory on Friday. The markets recovered after the release of a report from the Commerce Department that showed a larger-than-expected rebound in durable goods orders which surged by 3.3% in April after tumbling by a revised 5.9% in March.

Nevertheless, European markets ended the day lower, thereby extending the weakness from the previous day. Meanwhile Indian markets ended higher on Friday, as sentiments improved a bit after two senior U.S. central bankers said that the Fed is in no hurry to start winding down its bond-buying program and policymakers have flexibility to increase the pace of bond buying should the economy weaken again.
