Nifty Heavies Revisited .. !

 Nifty Futures

Nifty futures had a roller coaster ride last week. From a high of 5023 on Monday,  it recorded a low of 4786 on Tuesday. It gained on the last three days of the week to reach a high of 5055 on Friday. It closed at 5037 for the week. As the trading has been entirely based on international cues, any prediction has become useless. Therefore, lets try to understand what the market has done and why. 

The Indian market has been able to reasonably withstand the the onslaught of the bears recently unlike in the past. In the past, our market used to be more volatile than it's western counterparts. The reason for this positioning is none other than the better macro economic growth story offered by the Indian economy. However, any further deterioration of the  European soveriegn debt debacle may still affect our markets.
