Index of change is clearly perceptible for the first time round in the Indian market For the first time after three years, Indian market is approaching the New Year with hopes against hopes. The picture has changed now from the financial management of the last six months, but desperate and unfortunate government could not bring this distinguishable change into the broader discussion. At the fag-end of 2013, a logical optimism is clearly evident. The elderly people very rightly point out that the real test of management is during the crisis time. If you would keep looking down the ground, you cannot see the rainbow ever. The Indian Market is chanting this formula of Charlie Chaplin like a magic mantra. This is the first year- end for the past three years that the market of India is marching towards the New Year with hopes in lump sum forgetting excruciating torture of the years passed by. This Santa Claus type of mood in the midst of pole-vaulting shares and high interest rate may no doubt, sound impish, but the latest investigation of market fervour assures that despite ifs and buts, this index of hopes is based on some politico-economic wind wafting in the country. The Indian market, which shivered from the mere discussions of this and that type of news, is in celebration mood despite those tormenting news coming true. The American Central Bank, by releasing 85 billion dollars every month in the market is injecting the American economy with cheap dose of capital. When on Wednesday last, the American Fed announced to pare down infusing 10 billion dollars in the market beginning January next, nothing of the sort happened in Indian Market that was feared the most. The market was breathing with great unease after hearing the soun... ... middle of paper ... ... However, the let down and ill-fated Central Government could not bring this sweeping change into the limelight for all to see and take note of it as the brownie point, scored by the government efforts, whereas, the fortunate opposition has succeeded in beating the drum that the share bazaar is riding on the waves of political change and assembly elections results. No matter, no any factor is discernible of the market to be flying on the wings of political change, but sufficient proof is there of this truth that investors are betting in 2014 on the high index of change that was engulfing the environs till the end of slowdown in America to the return of growth in India and till also the political change as well that is developing in India. At the end of the year 2013, a very logical optimism is clearly detectable on the horizon. Works Cited nhytrfgvc

...S$1 billion from private equity funds in the year to March 2012. In a market as large as India, that is still far from impressive, but incoming capital is expected to rise in the following year. If it does, it will represent a significant turnaround for a market that foreign private equity investors have largely shunned since the onset of the global financial crisis. Risks associated with Indian real estate investment are considerable, however. As one interviewee puts it, “It’s like China, but more complex in every possible way, without the infrastructure.” Bureaucracy, ubiquitous delays, land acquisition scandals, and an ongoing national protest movement targeting corruption have all contributed to waning foreign interest in Indian markets, with foreign direct investment and portfolio investment dropping markedly despite economic growth of about 8 percent in 2011.
Before we begin our investigation, it is imperative that we understand the historical role of the central bank in the United States. Examining the traditional motives of this institution over time will help the reader observe a direct correlation between it and its ability to manipulate an economy. To start, I will examine one of its central policies...
The Transformation of the “Indian Problem”. In this paper, I plan to examine the marked transformation and the history of the so-called “Indian Problem.” The idea of an “Indian Problem” began with the arrival of white settlers in North America, and for them, it was a problem of safety, security, and land acquisition. Around 1890, the “Indian Problem” became an issue of how to help the Indians go extinct humanely, or to assimilate into white culture.
The most significant and well-examined calendar anomaly is the “January effect”, also known as the turn of the year effect. According to this phenomenon the performance of stocks are not equal for all the months of the year. In particularly, the common stocks have higher returns in January in comparison with the other eleven months and as a result the investors can make unusual profits. There are numerous of researches which studied and corroborated the presence of this calendar anomaly in several exchange stock markets. However, there are a lot of contemporary surveys that diminish the existence of this effect. Wachtel (1942) was the first who examined the presence of the January effect in Dow Jones Index (USA) for the time period 1927-1942. Wachtel reported high returns in January in comparison with the other months. Another significant research was published by Rozeff and Kinney...

As we are moving to the end of the course, we want to present you with the Federal Reserve System (Fed), which is the central bank of the USA. We are going to explore the roles of Fed in regularizing the economy, its function, and also the tools used in doing that. We will learn how central banks regulate the banking system and how they manage money supply in economies. We will also be presented to the financial crises lessons we can be able to understand the importance of the regulatory system; and then, we answering questions such as:
The fourth largest sector in the Indian economy is all set for 16% growth during 2008-09, from a base of Rs. 85470 crores, as predicted by FICCI. Going forward, as anticipated by CRISIL, FMCG sector will touch around Rs. 140000 crores by 2015 (33.4B$).
Bond and stock both belong to negotiable securities, although both have their own characteristics. Bond and stock as a member of the securities system, which is a fictitious capital, they are no actual value, but they are the representatives of the real capital. Holding bond and stock are likely to obtain revenues. Also, bond and stock are the means of financing, compared with indirect financing such as bank loans, issuance of bonds and stock financing are large, long-term, low-cost, and not subject to the conditions of the lending bank. But, the mutual effect of yield from a single bond and stock, their yields are often differences and sometimes there such a big gap. However, if the market is effective, the average interest rate of the bond and the average return rate of the stock will generally remain relatively stable relationship, the difference reflects the degree of risk difference between the two. Looking with dynamic, the rate of return of the stock and prices and bond’s interest rates and prices are affect each other, often in the securities market with the movement in the same direction, for example, when the stock goes up then the bond will be going up too, but not exactly same range. These are the relationship between stock and

This study investigates the short-term relationship between the UK stock market index (FTSE 100) and six macroeconomic variables during the period 2000-2013 using a multivariate vector autoregression and Granger causality tests. Variance decomposition and impulse response functions are used to measure the shocks of a variable from the other variables and the Granger causality test is used to investigate the lead-lag relationships among these variables.

The perception that futures market can lead to decline in volatility in spot market is common. However, the converse is also true. As a result, the impact of trading derivatives on the volatility of spot market is widely debated and the role of derivatives trading has been the focus of ample recent attention. Increased regulation on derivatives has been put into practice, regardless of the lack of reliable statistical evidence that derivatives trading is associated with change in volatility. However we cannot disregard the benefits of derivatives trading as it plays an important role in price discovery, portfolio diversification and hedging. Some experts in financial markets also hold a view that derivatives markets solely create market efficiency and hence, find no ground for regulation within the financial sector and derivatives trading. There are still disagreements on what role derivatives trading play regarding the stock market volatility. Taking into consideration the above factors there is a need to study the impact of derivatives contracts on Indian market. The focus area of this thesis is to investigate the role of Index futures & Stock futures trading on the volatility of the Indian spot markets. The aim of this study is to bring perspectives to the ongoing debate about the role of derivatives in capital markets. Thus, the main research question of this thesis is:
