I usually refrain from commenting on financial markets, but am making an exception here.

The SENSEX had opened at a record high today. Yesterday, with a global rally along with the US Presidential inauguration, the index had surged 394 points and had closed at a record high of 49,792. The surge is being attributed to foreign funds buying into the Indian market.
