Markets undo yesterday losses - Jan 31, 2012
The Indian stock markets have undone yesterday losses reaffirming that U-course (reversal of trend) was not immediate but a little distance ahead. The news that FIIs have pumped in 10,000 crores has boosted the morale as Sensex have been reporting the best results since September 2010.
The SENSEX closed at 17193.55 gaining 330.25 (1.96%) points while the NIFTY closed at 5199.25 jumping up 111.95 (2.20%). The CNX Midcap closed at 7100.55 adding 160.80 (2.32%) points while the BSE Smallcap closed at 6463.30 adding 89.71 (1.41%) points. Hence, the market gains of the day are across the board.
Media reports say that Fidelity is considering an exit from the Mutual Fund business in India. Earlier similar news (or rumours) are out that Bharti wants to come out of its Bharti AXA AMC. These news, experts believe, are a thumbs down to the morale of the Indian mutual fund market that has been witness some sea changes in the recent past.
