Global jitters spook market
The market declined last week, trailing weakness in global shares caused by disappointment over a quick European rescue plan. Investors feared building fresh positions as data showing acceleration of food inflation early this month raised prospects of more rate hikes from the central bank to tame inflation, which remains uncomfortably high. Stock specific action was witnessed as most index heavyweights announced their June-September 2011 quarter results.
The BSE Sensex fell 297.05 points or 1.74% to settle at 16,785.64 in the week ended Friday, 21 October 2011. The 50 share S&P CNX Nifty fell 82.35 points or 1.60% to 5,049.95.
Market may remain volatile on expiry of October F&O contracts
High volatility is expected on the bourses in a truncated trading week. There are many variables for investors to grapple with, including corporate earnings, a policy review from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), expiry of the near-month October 2011 futures & options (F&O) contracts and a European Union summit to finalise a package of comprehensive measures to tackle the euro-zone debt crisis. The near-month October 2011 derivatives contracts expire on Tuesday, 25 October 2011.
A special Muhurat trading session is being held on the bourses from 16:45 IST to 18:00 IST on Wednesday 26 October 2011 on account of Diwali. There is no regular trading session on that day. The market also remains closed on Thursday, 27 October 2011, on account of Diwali, the festival of lights.
Market slides for the second straight day
Key benchmark indices edged lower for the second day in a row as a reduction in order growth guidance for the current year from engineering & construction giant L&T hit sentiment adversely. L&T reversed direction in late trade, with the stock tumbling nearly 4%. Another index heavyweight Reliance Industries (RIL) also edged lower in volatile trade. The BSE Sensex lost 151.25 points or 0.89%, off about 245 points from the day's high and up close to 35 points from the day's low. Except the BSE consumer durables index, all the other 12 sectoral indices on BSE were in the red.

Hoping for progress!
Progress is the activity of today and the assurance of tomorrow- Ralph Waldo Emerson
This weekend is no time to relax. Investors globally will anxiously wait to see the direction of the weekend meeting of European leaders for a comprehensive solution to the euro zone crisis. There is no consensus on how to strengthen a euro zone rescue fund. Immediate decision or solution is far fetched but signs of progress will provide some assurance. A plan is expected to be adopted by coming Wednesday.
