I had mentioned
in last week’s closing report that Nifty, Sensex have bucked the weakness, and
headed higher. The major indices of the Indian stock markets have been on an
upswing since Tuesday, but have not sustained all the gains. On Friday, the
market was bearish with losses of around 0.85%-0.96% over Thursday’s close.
Over the week, the major indices have closed with small gains. The trends of
the major indices in the course of the week’s trading are given in the table
below:

Positive global cues and healthy

Profit booking subdued the Indian

flat note. Selling pressure was witnessed in consumer durables, oil and gas,

Healthy quarterly results,
consistent buying by foreign funds and a rise in global crude oil prices buoyed
the Indian equity markets on Thursday. The key indices closed the day's trade
in the green as healthy buying was witnessed in stocks of healthcare,
automobile and consumer durables. However, gains were capped due to profit
booking at higher levels and caution ahead of a key global financial event. The
BSE market breadth was tilted in favour of the bulls -- with 1,608 advances and
1,151 declines. On the NSE, on Thursday, there were 905 advances, 552 declines
and 68 unchanged.

ICICI Bank on Thursday became the
first bank in India to deploy ‘software robots that emulate human action, in
its over 200 business processes thereby reducing the response time to customers
by up to 60%. "We have re-engineered over 200 business processes which are
powered by software robots across various functions of the bank. We plan to
more than double the software robots to over 500 by end of this fiscal,"
Chanda Kochhar, MD and CEO, ICICI Bank, said.
According to the Federal Reserve’s
Beige Book released in the afternoon, reports from the twelve Federal Reserve
Districts suggest that national economic activity continued to expand at a
modest pace on balance during the reporting period of July through late August.
"Labour market conditions remained tight in most districts, with moderate
payroll growth noted in general. Price increases remained slight overall,"
said the Beige Book. The Fed has been in focus recently, with investors
pondering over when the US central bank will decide to raise interest rates.
The Federal Open Market Committee, the Fed's monetary policy arm, is set to
meet on September 20-21. On the economic front, the number of job openings
increased to 5.9 million on the last business day of July, the US Labour
Department reported on Wednesday.
Profit booking, coupled with
negative global markets and lower crude oil prices, dragged down the Indian
equity markets during the mid-afternoon trade session on Friday. The BSE market
breadth was tilted in favour of the bears -- with 1,470 declines and 1,113
advances. Initially on Friday, the benchmark indices opened in the red due to
negative Asian markets. Besides, caution ahead of the release of key
macro-economic data such as the factory output -- Index of Industrial
Production (IIP) -- for July and inflation figures for August weighed heavy on
the indices. In addition, depreciation in the rupee's value dampened investors'
sentiments. Negative global markets due to ECB's (European Central Bank)
decision not to inject more liquidity and profit booking led the equity markets
to trade lower, pointed out market analysts.The Total Investment
