| The return of optimism | 19-OCT-09 |
|
| Even six months back, few would have predicted the strong rally in the Indian stock market that has seen the BSE Sensex rise 112 per cent from its low point of March 2009. Analysts in India usually look for the domestic drivers of such dramatic swings (improved corporate performance, sharp industrial recovery, etc). While these are relevant and indeed important, it should not be lost sight of that markets across the globe have recovered from the sharp fall last year that followed the breakout of the global financial crisis; last week the Dow crossed the 10,000 mark. The rebound in markets around the world has been driven primarily by the liquidity that central banks have been pumping into their respective economies. |
