All in one year…highest point to lowest point

Filed under :Business and Finance

The Indian stock market was at all time high in January 2008, exactly a year ago, when the BSE sensex touched 22000 points plus.

And at that time, the entire world was saying that India is one of the few growth markets in the world with a massive young and intelligent population. And that lead to all the leading global fund managers putting in their money into India.

And within months the scene changed when the early signs of US economic crisis was sighted.

Even then there were scores of Foreign and Indian investment experts who extended theories that India is decoupled from the world, and a poor performance elsewhere in the world may not affect India’s growth rate.

But the Lehman Collapse brought the first round of massive crash in the Indian stock market. The market went down by over 40% by September 2008 and things became worse there onwards.

By the end of 2008, the market was closer to the 10000 mark, and in January 2009, along with most of the other global markets, the Indian market also went down to hit it’s multi-year low figure of below 8000 points.

So within 12 months, the Indian stock market saw both ALL TIME HIGH and also ALL TIME LOW.

That is stock market for you.
