News for today : 1 : Wall Street rebounded smartly Friday, shooting higher as a surge in the dollar and another plunge in oil prices eased some of investors' worries about losses at mortgage finance company Fannie Mae.
News for today : 2 : Rajen Shah, Chief Investment Officer, Angel Broking feels there are no more positive news to take the Sensex substantially up from the current levels and the markets are taking a breather after the 20% rise in such a short span of time. He said, �At 15 times the earnings one cannot be too bullish on the market especially in any of the current scenario where there is uncertainty about the movement of crude prices and inflation.� So, he believes it is going to be a rangebound market with a more stock specific movement than the indices going significantly up from the current levels in the short-term. But, he said the long-term looks very bright and sunny.

News for today : 1 : Wall Street started the week with a mixed finish on Monday as investors weighed volatility in oil prices and new hope for the financial sector after Lehman Brothers posted results. Stocks spent much of the session mostly lower after a fresh record for crude oil and a decline in regional manufacturing activity touched off concerns about the ability of the economy to push ahead.
News for today : 2 : Sanjay Sinha, CIO, SBI Mutual Fund, said the uncertainties in the market have not gone yet. "Inflation remains a big concern. It would cross double digits.

Politics and liquidity flows will be other factors to watch out for."
