ROUNDUP: Dalal Street Rejoices As Indian Stock Markets Continue To Advance Into 5th Week

Indian equities continued their bull run for fifth week in a row, aided by fresh foreign investment inflows and a modest reduction in inflation in both US and India. This week, the overall market capitalization of BSE-listed businesses reached an all-time high. After more than four months, benchmark index Sensex reached the psychologically important 60,000 barrier on August 17, only to decline on August 19 owing to moderate profit booking.
