While the Indian stockmarkets were not generous to investors (declined week-on-week), the rain gods gave a handful to Mumbai and as usual, the city choked during the last week! This did have an impact on the daily volumes traded, which was low in the first three days, only to gain momentum in the later half. Despite a weak start, there was selective buying interest in some sectors. But sentiment was dampened following the Prime Minister's decision to keep disinvestments of public sector units on hold (read Neyveli Lignite Corporation). This time, it was not only the 'Left' that was 'as usual' against the move, but also an important ally from Tamil Nadu (DMK). Incidentally, DMK was a strong supporter of disinvestments of PSUs under the erstwhile NDA government. Besides these domestic concerns, global factors such as North Korea testing missiles and renewed worries about interest rates increasing in Japan added to the nervousness. In this backdrop, it was a tug-of-war between the bulls and the bears with bears winning the battle towards the end of the week. On the FIIs front, while the first four sessions saw net inflows, the final trading day witnessed almost half of these inflow move out. The week finally saw a total net inflow of Rs 5.9 bn (US$ 133 m). Total net FII inflow into Indian equities in this calender year now stands at US$ 2.8 bn, around 40% lower than what came in during the January to June period in 2005.
