Stocks of 2011
Year 2011 was not so good for the Indian Markets with lot of negative news creating pressure and dragging stocks lower. Investors completely lost interest and as a result of the same, major stocks witnessed selling pressure.
Here take a look at major stocks that remained in the limelight throughout the year due to news-specific actions.
Bullions continue to shed glitter

Sensex slips in sluggish session…Nifty @ 4750
The topsy-turvy ride of the Indian market continued even as MPs traded barbs in Parliament on the New Lokpal Bill and Anna Hazare kicked off his three-day stir. Traded volumes remained light, notwithstanding the fact that the F&O expiry is just two days away. Essentially, the main indices never got going like they did on Monday amid lack of broad-based participation. The BSE Sensex and the NSE Nifty lacked sense of direction. The broader market too was more or less subdued.
The undercurrent was cautious as a strong report on the infrastructure output was countered by concerns about the Government’s fiscal profligacy and tight liquidity. The fact that most global markets are in festival mood hasn’t helped matters either. Most market participants are on ‘wait-and-watch’ mode right now amid lingering worries about the worsening domestic economic situation and problems plaguing the world economy.
F&O expiry…weak opening, choppy ending!
Everything is connected... no one thing can change by itself. - Paul Hawken.
Domestic politics and world markets seem to be connected in playing spoilsport. There is nothing much to change the mood for the last two trading sessions of 2011. F&O expiry will only add to the volatility. The weekly food inflation numbers will be tracked closely after having come off sharply in the past few weeks. Contrary to the usual norm at the end of a year, FIIs have been modest buyers of Indian equities lately. However, the overseas capital flows are not strong enough to make any impression on the market's direction. Volumes may pick up due to the derivative settlement.
Market may extend recent losses on weak Asian stocks; food inflation data eyed
The market may extend two-day losses on weak Asian stocks. Trading of S&P CNX Nifty futures on the Singapore stock exchange indicates a fall of 23 points at the opening bell. Stocks may remain volatile today, 29 December 2011, as traders rolled over positions in futures & options (F&O) segment from the near-month December 2011 series to January 2012 series. The near-month December 2011 F&O contracts expire today, 29 December 2011.
On macro front, the government will today, 29 December 2011, unveil data on some wholesale price indices viz. the food price index, the primary articles index and the fuel price index for the year through 17 December 2011.
