Markets remained volatile for yet another week but managed to end in the green. The beginning was downbeat, tracking feeble global cues but the situation improved in the following sessions with stability in the world indices. However, pressure in the IT majors combined with the prevailing underperformance of the banking pack continues to weigh on the sentiment. Eventually, both the benchmark indices, Nifty and Sensex, settled with modest gains to close at 19,751.05 and 66,282.74 levels. Meanwhile, buoyancy in select key sectors like auto, FMCG, energy and realty kept the traders occupied. Besides, the positive tone on broader indices further eased the pressure.

By admin • December 27, 2024 • As foreign institutional investors (FIIs) continue their selling spree in India and look towards China on the back of its attractive valuation proposition, Swarup Mohanty, vice chairman and CEO, Mirae Asset Investment Managers (India), told Vivek Kumar M that the trend could reverse once there is certainty about policy continuity in post elections. So far since April, FIIs have net sold nearly Rs 37,400 crore worth of shares in India. Mohanty also said that the ongoing volatility due to the general elections should be seen as an opportunity given India’s structural growth prospects. Excerpts:
What are the reasons behind the aggressive selling by FIIs this month? What could be the key catalyst for FIIs to return to India in the near-to-medium term?
The ongoing sell-off from FIIs is largely due to the elections and low China valuations. And to be fair, they have made money. Anybody who leaves making money is always good for the markets. But t…

Series creators Matt and Ross Duffer are not happy about it, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
While the Duffer Brothers are reportedly quite involved with marketing efforts for their massively successful Netflix series, the show is too big at this point for them to see everything, and the game seems to have slipped by, causing the brothers to have a “total meltdown” according to sources.

“We are writing it like that,” Goldstein, who writes for the show in addition to playing Roy Kent on it, told the Sunday Times. “It was planned as three.” Variety notes that Jason Sudeikis told Entertainment Weekly the same thing almost exactly a year ago, so Goldstein isn’t revealing anything that hasn’t already been said.
