stocks. The equity markets had receded after they touched new intra-day highs
in almost a year. On the NSE, there were 528 advances, 910 declines and 45
unchanged. However, global cues from the Asian markets were positive. The BSE
market breadth was tilted in favour of the bears -- with 1,563 declines and
1,178 advances

Key macro-economic data, coupled with the
government's efforts to build political consensus on a major economic
legislation and quarterly earnings results, are expected to steer the Indian
equity markets in the course of the week. The global liquidity tap, thanks to
global central banks, needs to further support the markets, if commensurate
growth in corporate earnings and other macro data does not materialise. The net
FPI (Foreign Portfolio Investors) flows in July, 2016 crossed Rs12,600 crore,
even as domestic institutional investors continued to remain net sellers. On a
weekly basis, figures from the stock exchanges showed that FPIs purchased
stocks worth Rs3,719.63 crore during the last week.
