Take some rest
Sometimes the cure for restlessness is rest. – C Wainwright.
Stellar results by banking major SBI helped counter the bad news on the economic front (IIP fell and food inflation spiked). One good thing is that trading volume has picked up in the past 2-3 sessions. Also, the India story still appears attractive with no let-up in FII inflows, though domestic funds continue to be circumspect. One should also take note of the spectacular debut of India’s MakeMyTrip on the Nasdaq. This only reinforces a view that quality Indian paper is still in high demand.
