Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) has quashed
Securities and Exchange Board of India's (SEBI) order against DLF's three-year
ban from capital markets, stating that the market is not justified in
condemning the real estate developer in conducting its business. Shares of DLF
soared 9 percent after the tribunal's order.
Meanwhile, demand for gold picked up across Asia
this week as bullion prices dropped to their lowest level in three months after
the longest losing streak in more than 40 years, but caution still prevailed,
traders said.
Gold, trading at about USD 1,158 an ounce,
touched USD 1,147.10 on Wednesday, the lowest since December 1. The metal fell
for nine straight sessions to Thursday, the longest losing streak since 1973.
The lower prices attracted bargain-hunters across
Asia, the top consuming region, although wariness over the price outlook kept a
lid on purchases. More information please visit this site www.sharemarket259.blogspot.in
