Back What’s Ahead

Global cues took a backseat last week as FIIs renewed buying stocks which helped the Sensex gain 6.2 per cent in the five trading days.

This assumes importance as global markets are hoping for a cut in key interest rates by US Fed later this year. The Bank of England and European Monetary Union will take stock of interest rates on September 6.
