    • The month just gone by received positive incremental news flow through the month to set a bottom in place and move up consistently.
    • The large cap index, Nifty50, was up 17 of the 21 trading days. As risk taking came back, the midcap index was up 8.2% while smallcap index was up 7.7%.
    • The rupee depreciated for third month in a row due to pressure from Oil.
    • The equity and bond market worry that both the deficits may come under pressure. In fact the equity market investors may use the weakness in markets due to oil price rise as a buying opportunity.

    Outlook
    • As elaborated earlier, there would be enough volatility in the markets. Make volatility your friend by committing more capital on bad days if any.
