The markets have been on a roller coaster ride through the week and Friday was no different.

Sensex closed below the 17,000 mark ending at 16,839.63 points, while Nifty declined 65.35 points to end at 5,072.95. In the opening trade Sensex opened with 180 points high but closed the day with 219.77-point loss. The Sensex has managed to close higher only twice this month. Friday's decline came despite a major rally on the Wall Street that took the Dow 423 points higher, helping the benchmark regain the 11,000 mark. That marked the fourth consecutive day when the Dow swung over 400 points either ways. It was also indicative of the volatility and uncertainty in the minds of investors.

EXPERT VIEWS

"Developed countries' debt problems are worrisome...Extremely loose international monetary conditions are hard to reverse in the short term and a large amount of capital is still likely to flow into relatively fast-growing emerging countries."

People's Bank Of China
Quarterly Monetary Policy Report
"Some authorities have decided to impose or extend existing short-selling bans in their respective countries. They have done so either to restrict the benefits that can be achieved from spreading false rumours or to achieve a regulatory level playing field."

European Securities And Markets Authority
Statement
"India's independence movement and the inspirational leadership of Mahatma Gandhi still move people to be the change that they want to see in the world. At this time of profound change and hope for millions of people, India's story stands as a powerful example of what people can achieve through the peaceful pursuit of inalienable rights."

Hillary Clinton
U.S. Secretary of State
