Don't forget when the market surged, it was on high volume too...     Thus from this one can see that big players (huge volumes) are             into both buying as well as selling..                     Thus, no matter whether it is big or small player,                             all can win, and also lose too.                                     In this regard, it is not like a casino where people                                           are only playing against the house.                                                 So there's no justification in calling the stock market names like " evil" , etc.                                                       Just because you bought and it goes down does not mean the market is evil.                                                             It only means you have bet wrongly...

Dun be too optimistic yet. China might increase interest rate again this quarter or increase deposit reserve. Euro debt crisis still unsolved and may resurface again.

NEW YORK - The dollar pushed back against the euro Friday after a seesaw week, with the resignation of Germany's central bank chief and new worries about Portugal's fiscal situation pressing down the European currency. At 2200 GMT the euro traded at $1.3546, compared to $1.3601 late Thursday. The dollar kept up its climb against Japan's currency, rising to 83.42 yen from 83.20 yen. Egypt's political drama, with President Hosni Mubarak defying grassroots pressure to resign Thursday and then finally giving in on Friday, dominated the news, but had little substantial effect on the main currencies. The key news was the announced departure of Bundesbank boss Axel Weber, effective April 30. That also took him out of the pole position in the race to become the next European Central Bank chief. Having a German succeed in the ECB job would have strengthened the voice of German Chancellor Angela Merkel as the ECB scrambles to cope with a crisis that has shaken the eurozone to its very foundations. Instead, his pullout opened the way for his main rival, Italy's Mario Draghi, to secure the job. Weber had ruffled feathers in recent months with attacks on the ECB's contribution to fighting the crisis the purchase of 76.5 billion euros' worth of government bonds. But euro-investors were also concerned about the falling prices of Portuguese debt, as Lisbon needs to raise more money in global markets to avoid a eurozone rescue. " Eurozone debt markets have also become more unsettled in recent days, with Portuguese 10-year bond yields reaching a record high yesterday," said Vassili Serebriakov of Wells Fargo. " We see the euro as entering a more uncertain period ahead of the Eurozone Leaders' summit in mid-March and the heavier sovereign funding schedule for Portugal and Spain in the coming months," he said. The dollar traded stronger against the pound late Friday, at $1.6007 against $1.6097 the previous day. The dollar stood at 0.9729 Swiss francs, up from 0.9689 Thursday. - AFP /ls | ||||

SHANGHAI: China's central bank has ordered some small and medium-sized banks to raise their reserves in the latest in a series of such hikes aimed at reining in inflation, state media said on Friday. The reserve requirement ratio hike, which effectively reduces the amount of money banks can lend, is mainly targeted at regional institutions, the state-run China Securities Journal reported, citing unnamed sources. The increase took effect this week, the report said without naming the affected banks or specifying the size of the hike. China has yet to announce an official lending target for this year, but it has enlisted various monetary tools to tame credit growth and inflation. The People's Bank of China raised interest rates for the third time in four months on Tuesday. It also increased the bank reserve requirement ratio by half a percentage point in January, its seventh hike since the start of last year. Friday's report said inflationary pressure meant China would likely continue monetary tightening in the first quarter, and the central bank would use differentiated reserve requirements to manage individual banks' loan growth. The central bank said on January 26 that differentiated reserve ratios were " a more transparent and regulated way to guide stable and appropriate credit growth in financial institutions" . China's consumer price index, a key measure of inflation, rose 4.6 per cent from a year earlier in December, down from 5.1 per cent in November, which was the fastest rate in more than two years. The government is due to release January's inflation data around February 15, and analysts widely expect the reading rose more than five per cent last month partly due to increased demand ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday. Higher food costs also likely fanned inflation as extremely dry conditions across northern China damaged wheat and other crops. Chinese banks tend to lend more at the start of each year to maintain or expand their share of the credit market. The newspaper said Chinese banks issued more than 1.2 trillion yuan ($182.2 billion) in new yuan loans in January, down from the 1.4 trillion yuan in January last year. - AFP/fa | ||||

Outflow and Inflow happen all the time...     ie. on a daily, weekly, monthly, etc  basis ...             Who is to tell when each will occur?             If anyone can tell, then there's no need for him/her to play shares...

Inflow and outflow happens all the time...     Yin follows Yang, and Yang follows Yin... ad infinitum                   as long as humans continue to populate the earth...

Yes, but market already knew it during trading time. And it still closed lower than Thursday. The rate hike news is too bearish on bank counters to ignore. But I expect a rebound on Monday though. After Monday, all bets are off.
