Sensex hovers near 16200; DLF, Jindal Steel down
MUMBAI: Equities continued to reel under selling pressure cautious investors booked profits on growing concerns that Greece might default sooner or later. The global financial markets plunged after Greece said it would miss the target set by the International Monetary Fund and European Union.
"World markets had their worst quarter since the height of the 2008 financial meltdown, as a chronic credit crisis in the eurozone rattled investors. Anemic growth in the US economy is another factor that dented investor confidence. What's worse, there are still no signs of hope as national leaders and policymakers continue to grapple with evolving macro-economic problems.
A spate of disappointing domestic economic statistics will only add to the list of global issues. The Centre's fiscal situation is in a mess. The current account deficit has swelled and the external debt is also increasing. Inflation of course is the enemy no.1.
The near-term prospects don't appear bright amid mounting worries that Greece will default sooner or later. The ECB's policy meet this week will be keenly followed. US jobs data will be another key data to keep a close watch," said IIFL report.
