Volume No : 1               June  2010

 

 

Dear Members

The Indian bourses rebounded from 3-1/2 month lows hit early in the week, tracking recovery in global stocks. The BSE closed at 16,994 points on Friday (28th May). In the month of May, FIIs sold shares worth a net Rs. 13,000 crs. and bought a net Rs. 2,667 crs. as on 27th May, 2010.

 

The central Bank on 26th May, eased rules to boost liquidity at banks to avoid a cash crunch. As per the circular released, banks can borrow as much as 0.5% of their deposits from the central bank under the repurchase agreement till 2nd July. In addition to that as an adhoc measure, banks can seek a waiver for any shortfall in maintenance of the prescribed 25% statutory liquidity ratio. The RBI has also decided to conduct two rounds of liquidity adjustment facility(LAF) operations till 2nd July, 2010.

 

Nothing much to report on regulatory front. Request you all to check for the latest circulars under “Circulars Corner” in the home page of the RAIN website.

 

On RAIN front, we are still awaiting the nominations from some of the members for the training program on the “New IPO process”, which is scheduled on 10th June in Mumbai. Request you all to send your confirmations to Mr. Ajit @ ajitkumar@sharexindia.com & Mr. Milind @ milind@mondkarcomputers.com latest by EOD tomorrow.

With best regards
