After the Mumbai terror attack everything was clear that Mr.Home Minister dint do his homework which has led to this big loophole.Im just thinking if we are given a job like this we will be like traveling to every state not just the metros but to every state make sure law and order is under control and see if all the state is safe from all the side , I’m not saying we will do this all the time at least when we know that there is terror attack happening anyway he dint do the job so he had quit now.
Dr.Manmohan Singh has forwarded the resignation to the president and also then recommended the former finance minister Chidambaram as the new home minister and the finance ministry would be directly controlled by Prime minister himself.

Sensex which had almost surged 200 points from starting is in red now , The market opened the day with support from US market and the Stimulas package that was given to Citibank , but now its almost at red .European market is kind of choppy and may be Sensex is retariating that.Yesterday Finance Minister P Chidambaram said that India is likely(common say it will no likely here)to miss the revenue and fiscal deficit targets in the current financial year as the government wants to spend additional money to boost the aggregate demand in the economy which has shown signs of slowing down. Thus, he said, the Centre would have to go for additional borrowings this year to meet higher expenditure. Higher government borrowing will restrict a further fall in interest rates. So all these line means there is more cut thats in the way.

Us stock really saw a bull run yesterday which would have been a dull and red day , at 3.00 pm or so tio was literally up 0 points and from that moment on it went up almost 500 poits to close at 8046 points which is above 8000 points up by almost 494 points , all because of a single reason that US President-elect Barack Obama has decided to nominate New York Federal Bank President Timothy Geithner as his new Treasury secretary.I dont understand if he was good then the policy he would have already have in FED Bank should have helped in soem way to fix the economy , anyway may be i dont have full insight of it , we will see how it goes after he comes in .

Inflation data has come out morning itself which has stared to give atleast some 50 point releif to the market , the infation for the week ending november 8th stands at 8.9 compared to 8.98 week over week.I saw Mr Rao , wno is from Yes bank started predicting that the inflation will come down to 4.85 percent almost by next year 1st QTr , they are the same analyst who said that next year starting it would see single digit inflation which came like 2 months before itself .So nothing is for sure , We are just not yet into recession which almopst every country is seeing .
What made the Inflation to come down

WPI for commodities down by 0.2% WOW
Fuel group: down 0.9% WoW.
Light and diesel prices: down 11% WoW.
Furnace oil prices: down 9% WoW.
Aviation fuel prices: down 5% WoW.

Atlest for the last one the aviation fuel price which has gone down heavily will play some factor in getting the inflation down , so we can expect the inflation to go doqwn more in coming weeks.This is like good time if they start reducing the oil prices vegetables price might go down and other transportation charges will be less , thus it will help the inflation to go down more.
