Sensex ekes out slim gains on inflation relief


The Indian equity market coped quite well with Standard & Poor's mass sovereign downgrades in Europe as inflation fell to a two-year low in December, giving elbow room to the RBI to adjust its monetary policy and support economic growth. Trade Secretary said today that India's exports surged by ~26% during April-December 2011 and could hit US$300bn for the full fiscal year.

It was a cautious start to the week for the Indian stocks, as the benchmark indices ended almost unchanged. The equity benchmarks managed to recover smartly from session lows. Earlier, they had got stuck in a tight trading range due to weakness across the Asian markets.

Downgrades ignored, flat start in sight!


What we anticipate seldom occurs; what we least expected generally happens.- Benjamin Disraeli.

The much-dreaded mass downgrades of struggling eurozone members by S&P hardly caused any ripples across world markets. In fact, Moody’s affirmed its "AAA" rating of France. S&P delivered another knock though by cutting the top rating of the eurozone bailout fund, EFSF.

European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi has downplayed the S&P downgrades but warns that the eurozone situation remains grave. Meanwhile, talks over how writedowns of Greek debt should be handled will resume on Wednesday after a brief pause last week.
