Stock market trends and sensex index

At the moment there is no good news related to the stock market. As on 18th of May, the sensex index fell for the third day - the lowest close in nearly two months. There are both domestic and international factors that have resulted in the downtrend. Key issues (pressing sales in the stock market at higher levels) are related to fears of more monetary tightening moves by the apex bank not to mention higher fuel prices and concerns about inflation. When will the sensex index reach the highest figures achieved months ago? This is a question not asked by me only but also thousands of other investors. During the beginning of the year market analysts had predicted that the stock market would grow and by the end of the year the sensex index would reach 22,000. But it is almost half part of the year and the sensex index is far from reaching the highest figure once achieved.

I do stay updated with the latest news related to the stock market so that I am able to take informed buying and selling decisions. It is in.reuters.com that I rely for stock market news that is published first and stories that are detailed and relevant including up-to-the-minute sensex index updates. And I use investing tools like fundamental analysis and stock technical analysis. Research is another part of my lucrative stock search activity. Maybe these have at least facilitated me to strike a balance between gains and losses. Just hoping for the best….
