Markets
2004: Striking the high notes
Mumbai: The BSE Sensex crossed another milestone
of 6600 and gives clear indications that the bulls will
go charging into 2005 with their tails up.
The heavy inflows from FIIs have kept the undertone bullish
for the larger part of the year. The FIIs have pumped
in $8.51 billion (Rs38,965 crore) into the equity market
during the year compared to $6.59 billion (Rs30,458 crore)
during the previous year.
After a considerable gap, large-sized IPOs hit the primary
market, and received a rapturous response from the investors.
2004 indeed marked the revival of the primary markets
after a long time, for it had gone into a slumber for
a considerable period of time.
Another distinctive feature of the markets for the year
2004 has been the emergence of the mid-cap and small cap
stocks as a strong area of investor activity.
The bulls go charging into 2005 following the scent of
continued FII inflows, tax and financial sector reforms
and robust industrial activity.

2004:
FIIs pump in $8 billion
New Delhi: More than $8 billion or Rs35,000 crore
has been pumped into the Indian share market in the last
twelve months, by the existing and the additional 140
Foreign Institutional Investors who have stepped into
the Indian markets this year.
With the Dow giving only 6 per cent returns compared to
40 per cent by the Sensex, the operators abroad have turned
towards India in the last six months. India is now one
of the best performers in Asia be it the economy, stock
markets or the industry.
