Dear Members

The Indian bourses reported ninth straight weekly gains and closed at 17,933 points, boosted by earnings optimism, continued fund inflows and recovery in global stock markets.

 

FIIs have shown steady interest in Indian equities post budget which emphasized on fiscal consolidation and higher consumption power. FIIs inflow in April totaled to Rs. 3,463 crs. while inflow in the calendar year totaled to Rs. 24,107 crs.

 

Reduction in timelines (from 22 days to 12 days) between issue closure and listing will now be applicable to all the public issues opening on and after 1st May 2010.

 

The on-going tussle between the two regulators over equity-linked insurance schemes has come to an end, followed by a truce between them. Both the capital market regulator (SEBI) and the insurance sector regulator (IRDA) will have to jointly seek a binding legal mandate from an appropriate Court.

 

SEBI released circulars on "Allocation of debt investment limits", Master circular "for Stock Exchange - Cash Market" &  "for Depositories" & "Applications Supported by Blocked Amount (ASBA) facility in public issues".

 

More news in weeks to come…..

With best regards
