Major Indian stock indices including the 30 component BSE's SENSEX and National Stock Exchange's NIFTY index ended the day on higher note as speculators purchased stocks for probably booking profits later in the week, since there is no positive cues available about Indian economy and INR consistently above 61/USD mark, the future looks no good. Moreover no Foreign institutional investors are anyway interested in Indian economy as political concers have started taking toll on fresh investments in India, US dollar investments have dried and major companies which were planning to come to India have striked off their plans for short time duration.
Most followed SENSEX index ended the day at 19,229.84, up by 282.86 points. Whereas broader index NSE's NIFTY cosed up by 86.90 points at 5,699.30. Market breadth remained positive with 1,444 stocks gaining and 899 ending lower. Government has increased the import duty on gold, silver and platinum to 10 percent, but still this move shall not help much as people prefer yellow metal more then Indian stocks. With economy in doldrums and Finance ministry making insane decisions and policy changes, USD might reach 65 level in coming months.
