The overseas capital flows have turned negative

India’s slowing economy, slowdown in China and worsening global risk aversion has registered a sharp fall on Friday's Stock Market with the Sensex taking a 253.37-point plunge to close below the 16,000 mark which kept investors away.
The Sensex opened flat, quickly slipped into a negative zone and closed at 15,965.16 points. The fall was triggered by weaker global shares after surveys showed Chinese factory output barely growing and powerful European manufacturing countries falling deeper into the malaise. The NSE 50-share Nifty too tumbled down by 82.65 points to 4,841.60.
Meanwhile,The rupee, meanwhile, gained 54 paise to end at 55.54 against the dollar on persistent dollar selling by exporters with the RBI hinting at the possibility of opening a separate dollar window for oil firms. However, with a 0.3 per cent on the week, the domestic currency posted a ninth consecutive weekly drop, worst losing streak since the Lehman crisis.
“The overseas capital flows have turned negative in the wake of the controversy over GAAR, Vodafone tax dispute and weak economic fundamentals,” Amar Ambani, head of Research, IIFL, said. Investors wealth, or market capitalisation, declined by Rs 91,000 crore. Capital goods, power, auto, refinery and IT indices logged losses of at least 2 per cent while shares of banking, metal, realty, PSUs and healthcare sectors also moved down. In the Sensex pack, 27 of the 30 stocks ended the session with losses with Tata Motors emerging as the biggest loser with a fall of 3.73 per cent.
The BSE Mid-Cap index fell 1.46 per cent, while the BSE Small-Cap index fell 1.22 per cent. Eighty two percent of the 246 mid-cap scrips declined, while 70 per cent of the 535 small-cap scrips declined on the BSE.

Recovery of Rupee and so India from Tsunami fear

The rupee today recovered from three-month lows to close higher by 5 paise at 51.42/43 against the US currency on fresh dollar selling by banks despite weak equity markets. 
The rupee resumed lower at 51.51/52 per dollar at the Interbank Foreign Exchange ( Forex) market against the last close of 51.47/48. It dropped further to a three-month low of 51.70 on renewed dollar demand from importers amidst weakness in local equity markets. 
But, later it recovered to 51.38 per dollar before settling at 51.42/43 per dollar, showing a gain of five paise. 

Fresh selling of dollars by banks and exporters in view of weak dollar in overseas markets mainly boosted the rupee's value against the dollar, a dealer said.
In London, the yen rose to a six-week high against the dollar today as concerns grew about worsening debt problems in a number of euro zone economies that may threaten global growth, boosting demand for the safe-haven currency.

In second day of dull trading, the BSE Sensex fell 44 points to 17,199.40 as investors remained cautious ahead of industrial growth data, weak global markets and a massive earthquake in Sumatra that triggered tsunami fears in the Asian region, including India. 

India issued a tsunami warning for Nicobar islands and alerted the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh following the quake during the last hour of trading, and the stock market was unable to sustain the gains it had begun to make just before that. 

A different approach of investment

With so much market in fluctuations its seems there is much more concern in the mind of investors to think of safer ways of investment.

Thats wat the current market trend showing with the big investors opting for Energy's which directs to price rise of Energys. Gas prices already on rise so comes solar energy, though its not new as its wide acceptance has been noticed in Europe, South korea and China and USA.
Solar cells and panel manufacturerrs are coming into much notice, the one stock for capital I set is Yingli Green Energy.
Yingli's primary global markets include Germany, Spain, Italy, Greece, France, South Korea, China and the United States. On November 19, the company announced a gross margin of 33.3%, above its original guidance of 31-32%, and well above the 22.5% it posted the same period last year. Operating margin was reported at 22.4%. The company reported a profit of 465.1 million CNY ($68.2 million USD) up from 120.8 million CNY last year.
