Investing Means:

Samvat 2070

---

Samvat 2070, the new year for the trading community on dalal street, started on a high note with the sensex scaling a new all-time high at 21322, during the one hour fifteen minutes special trading  session on Sunday evening and also closing at a new high at  21239.

Usually during this special trading session, called the muharat trading session which marks the start of a new year. traditional day traders and investors on the street only buy shares, even if in small quantities, and donot sell any of their holdings however, over the years this tradition has changed  and now there are traders and investors who also on this day.

Sunday’s Muhurat session started with the sensex up by nearly by 100 points with stocks like Tata Motors, Jindal Steel and Sun Pharma in the lead, the sensex scaled a new peak at the very beginning but then profit taking to some points off the index and it closed with a gain of 43 points. The day’s session also made investors richer by about rs 19000 crore with BSE’s market capitalization now at rs 68.3 lakh crore.

Although the sensex is at a new high not many are happy since the recent rise has not accompanied spurt in turnover. Low turnover on the bourses means less commission for the brokers and hence the lack of enthusiasm among the people on the dalal street.

Moving ahead, brokers are also expecting some corrections with the strength of rupee, foreign fund flows and political developments being the main drivers. “Government;s special schemes to get more dollars through the FCNR scheme will end by this month end. Against a total target of $15billion, we have already got about $13billion through this scheme. This, along with lowering of our current account deficit (CAD), has helped the rupee strenghern from its all time low levels (near the 69 to the $ Mark),” said deven choksey, MD KR choksey shares and securities.
