Dear Members

Markets have shown a downward trend last week and closed at 17,868 points as the RBI increased interest rates to control inflation. However, sustained buying by foreign banks, revival of monsoon rains and latest data showing easing of food inflation have prevented sharp decline.

RBI has raised its key short term interest rates for the 4th time this year to curb surging inflation at its Quarter 1 monetary policy on 27th July. FIIs have bought shares worth a net Rs. 8,100 crs. this month, absorbing selling by domestic institutional investors. Domestic funds have dumped shares worth a net Rs. 4,777 crs. in June, 2010.

Circulars have been released across BFSI segment. The key among them are “Mandatory requirement of Permanent Account Number – PAN”  & “Additional mode of payment through applications supported by blocked amount (hereinafter referred to as ASBA) in Mutual Funds “ released by SEBI. Request you all to access “Circulars Corner” on the home page in RAIN website for all circulars released.

On RAIN front, we are working on putting together the trip to SA and look forward to your active confirmation.

With best regards

V. Ganesh
Chairman – RAIN
