Wishing Our Readers Our Followers A Very "HAPPY DIWALI AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2070"

Sensex at new high; investors ready for Samvat 2070 warily The bellwether index broke past its previous high of 21206 after 70 months this morning amid a raging debate if the market can sustain its gains.

The recent positives on growth in exports and the anticipated pick-up in agricultural production do provide reason for optimism on the macro front. Also, we believe that the delay in Federal Reserve (Fed)'s tapering of QE3 appears as a window of opportunity for our economy since it gives us space to continue on the course of corrective policy action and improve resilience against external headwinds. Swift policy measures have been taken to attract capital inflows in the economy. Consequently FII investors have returned in the equity market driven by a) global liquidity continuing to remain benign for now and b) receding domestic macro risks.

FII flows to dictate trend

Trend in investment by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) who are currently on a buying spree, trend in other global emerging markets, rupee movement and movement in crude oil prices will determine near term on the domestic bourses. FIIs purchased shares worth a net Rs 15706.20 crore in October 2013. FIIs had bought shares worth a net Rs 13057.80 crore in September 2013.
