Thursday 19 December 2013

Closing Summary, Market Synopsis: 19th December, 2013


Key benchmark indices edged lower in choppy trade as the US Federal Reserve's move to cut its bond-buying program rekindled concerns of slowing foreign inflows.

The reduced availability of cash in the global financial system could temper the flow of foreign money into India, which has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of foreign capital.
