Indian Markets have shown a remarkable strength in the last week and ended November on a promising note. The euphoria in the Indian Markets was primarily because of more support to the government’s reform process from it’s allies and positive global cues.
All this positive sentiments aided to a 4.5% upsurge in the benchmarks in a shortened week. Both the Sensex and Nifty created a new 2012 high and are currently quoting at 19 month highs.
