A stock exchange is a marketplace where shares of publicly held companies, government bonds, and other securities are traded. It operates according to rules set by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and provides liquidity and transparency to securities trading. Stock exchanges are important for capital formation as they encourage public savings and channel funds into corporate and government securities. Common stock market indices like the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 track the performance of major companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) respectively. To invest in stocks, one must open a demat account with a depository participant.
The S&P BSE SENSEX is a stock market index of 30 large, well-established, and financially sound companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange. It is a free-float market-weighted index, meaning it tracks the performance of these companies based on the total value of their shares readily available for public trading. The SENSEX is used to measure and compare the performance of stock markets in different countries. It can help identify which markets have performed best or worst over various time periods, such as India, Brazil, and Europe performing poorly compared to the US, Australia, and Chile in the past 5 years.
The document provides a weekly summary of key economic indicators and financial market performance in India for the period of 1st-8th June 2018. Some of the key highlights included:
- The Indian equity market ended the week flat with the Sensex gaining 0.61% supported by expectations of a normal monsoon, rupee strengthening, and falling crude prices.
- Bond yields rose as RBI raised repo and reverse repo rates by 25 bps while maintaining a neutral liquidity stance, suggesting this may be the only rate hike this fiscal year.
- FII investments were positive at Rs. 1,164 crore while DII investments were higher at Rs. 2,470 crore for the week.
- The Indian equity market rose slightly over the week, aided by falling crude oil prices and recovery in the rupee. Volatility increased due to political issues in Italy and trade war fears. Telecom and oil & gas sectors saw gains while infrastructure, realty, and pharma declined.
- The 10-year Indian government bond yield increased sharply by 11 basis points to 7.84% due to higher than expected GDP growth and inflation numbers.
- Key economic indicators included 7.7% GDP growth in Q4, 4.58% CPI inflation in April, and 12.65% growth in credit in May. The RBI's monetary policy meeting on June 6th is expected to take a h
- The key Indian equity indices Sensex closed the week with marginal gains of 0.5% despite volatility in the market from events like US Fed rate hikes and the de-nuclearization of North Korea. Pharma stocks gained the most while metals and oil & gas dragged.
- Yields on the 10-year Indian government bond eased initially but rose later in the week due to higher inflation numbers. The RBI kept policy rates unchanged.
- Internationally, the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates as expected while China's industrial production growth slowed slightly. The Trump-Kim summit led to agreements on denuclearization.
The document provides an outlook on global debt markets in November 2016. It notes that global bond yields are rising rapidly as central banks move away from easy monetary policies. The US 10-year Treasury yield rose to a 5-month high near 1.87% on expectations of a December rate hike by the US Federal Reserve. German and UK bond yields also increased. Global bond markets experienced a significant selloff due to expectations of higher US rates and uncertainty around the ECB's bond purchase program.
The document provides an overview and outlook across various asset classes and sectors in India and globally. Some key points:

- Global central banks like the Fed and ECB appear less accommodative but the US economy remains resilient. Growth has slowed in Japan and parts of Europe.
- Automobiles, banks, FMCG and infrastructure sectors are expected to perform well in India, while cement may see a recovery. Select domestic sectors and stocks still appear attractive relative to other emerging markets.

The document provides an equity market outlook and analysis for the period of Diwali to Diwali (October 2016 to October 2017). It notes that large caps underperformed with returns of 5-6% last year while midcaps saw stronger returns of 19-20%.

However, market corrections of 6-8% are normal and investors should focus on investing in good quality stocks during declines rather than withdrawing.

Introduction of GST in the Rajya Sabha has significance because it could have been passed in the Lok Sabha also. However, Rajya Sabha is where the government does not have majority and since it’s a constitutional amendment that requires two thirds majority, convincing all the parties is a key milestone and to that extent, introduction and subsequent passage of the bill in the Rajya Sabha will be important.
•Earnings Data for 8 core industries including mining, infrastructure and electricity was received which indicated a growth by 5.2% which augers well. However, one needs to see if this is a onetime occurrence or will it continue. Also, since rainfall was moderate, by the end of July, rural consumption is expected to be strong. To that extent, GDP is likely to grow anywhere between 7.5-8% this year. The government’s earlier projections in the budget carry an upward bias.
Dear Investors,
The month of July has seen the heavens literally open their doors and shower their blessings on us. After a late start in June, the monsoon picked up
smartly and the country as a whole received abundant rainfall, bringing cheer to one and all and definitely a sense of relief. The same good cheer
seems to have percolated to the global equity markets as well. Having brushed off the Brexit issue, markets have continued their upward move
relentlessly through the month of July. The US benchmark index, the S&P 500 hit a new lifetime high earlier in the month on the back of good jobs
data and an optimistic view of growth in the US economy. Not wanting to be left out in any way, the Nifty set a new 52-week high and the Sensex
scaled 28,000.
The quarterly results have been a mixed bag so far. While there have been more hits than misses, the IT sector as a whole and some pharma
companies have been the major pockets of underperformance. Most of the private sector retail banks and NBFCs have shown a stellar performance,
while growth in public sector banks was stagnant due to liquidity and NPA issues. In the consumer space, lower costs have added to the profits of
several companies, but revenue growth and volume growth were disappointing. There is hope that these will see a significant pick up in the second
half of the financial year once the benefits of the 7th Pay Commission and a good monsoon kick in.
The document provides an economic and market summary for the week of July 18-22, 2016. Key points include:

- Greece relaxed some capital controls as bailout reforms progress and banking confidence returns.
- Central banks will remain cautious on policy moves pending clarity on Brexit's economic impacts.
- Core inflation in India declined to 4.5% in June from 4.7% previously, which may support a 25 basis point rate cut by the RBI in August. Industrial growth also turned positive in April after contracting previously.
- Financial results from companies so far have been better than expected, though IT sector disappointed due to Brexit. Global markets are focused on upcoming earnings season in India.
- The Bank of England is expected to cut rates to a record low of 0.25% to cushion the UK economy from Brexit shock. China's land and wage growth slowed in the first half of 2016 due to overcapacity issues.
