Weekly Finance News
Key benchmark indices posted their first weekly fall in six, ending a
powerful rally since mid-April as dismal earnings from L&T and SBI
coupled with weak global cues after disappointing data from China and
comments from the US Federal Reserve about tapering its stimulus
program weighed on sentiment.
The benchmark BSE index rose 0.15 percent, or 30 points, to end at
19,704.33 on Friday, but was down 2.87 percent or 581.79 points for
the week, marking its biggest weekly fall since the week ended on
March 24.
Similarly, the broader NSE index rose 0.28 percent, or 16.50 points, to
end at 5,983.55, but ended 203.75 points or 3.29 percent lower for the
week, also its biggest weekly fall since late March. The market dropped
in four out of five trading sessions in the week ended Friday, 24 May
2013.
2. 2
The BSE Mid-Cap index declined 3.43 percent and the BSE Small-Cap
index fell 3.33 percent. Both these indices underperformed the Sensex.
Still, doubts persist about how long foreign investors will continue to
buy, while investors are also growing wary ahead of January-March
economic growth data next week which will likely confirm whether the
economy has gained some traction on the government's reform moves
and the central bank's rate cuts.
The govt will release January-March quarter GDP on Friday, which is
expected to confirm the economy grew at its slowest pace in a decade in
the 2012/13 fiscal year.
Investors will also be eyeing whether strong foreign buying continues.
Foreign institutional investors extended their record net purchases of
Indian stocks to a 26th consecutive sessions on Thursday, despite sharp
falls sparked by worries the Fed would unwind its monetary stimulus
earlier than expected.
Companies will also continue to report January-March earnings,
including Coal India Ltd, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, and Cipla
Ltd.
