Besides good corporate earnings in a fast growing economy, the rise in the value of the Indian rupee against the dollar has attracted foreign funds.

Receding fears of rising interest rates have aided the surge on the domestic bourses over the past few days. Inflation is hovering at a little above 4%. Inflation has remained below the RBI's targeted level of 5% in recent weeks. It fell to a 14-month low of 4.03% in mid-June 2007. Annual inflation hit 6.69% on 27 January 2007, the highest in more than two years.
The trend in other Asian markets will continue to have a bearing on domestic bourses. Asian markets may open on a subdued note early next week after China raised interest rates on Friday, 20 July 2007, in the latest of a series of tightening steps aimed at keeping inflation in check and preventing the world's fourth-largest economy from overheating.
The announcement came after trading hours in key Asian markets including the Chinese markets on Friday, 20 July 2007. The People's Bank of China ordered an increase of 0.27% in commercial banks' benchmark one-year deposit and lending rates.
