Dear Members

The markets tripped on Friday as Europe’s sovereign debt, indications of weak US jobs data and crash in commodity and energy prices raised fresh concerns over global economic recovery. The BSE sensex fell below the psychological 16,000 mark.

 

The currency future trading in three new currency pairs EURO/INR, GBP/INR & JPY/INR, introduced by NSE & MCX stock exchange saw good response on the inaugural day. NSE & BSE were open on Saturday, 6th February, 2010 as NSE was testing an upgraded trading system.

 

SEBI dropped all its charges against NSDL in the IPO case on 2nd February, 2010. Some of the key circulars released during last week are:

 

1.     SEBI: Standard warning in advertisements by Mutual Funds & Valuation of debt and money market instruments

2.     RBI: Prudential guidelines on capital charge for market risks

3.     IRDA: The Prevention of Money Laundering amendment rules, 2009 across life, non-life and re-insurance divisions

 

RAIN meeting is scheduled on 11th February and minutes will be shared subsequently.

 

With best regards
