Deloitte Clapped
Good Evening,
Indian equity market ended lower for the second consecutive session on August 11 amid selling across the sectors barring PSU banks. Fed seen pausing after tame CPI data, but mission not over. The restructure of the MSCI index might result in $1.4 billion in stock inflows. Funding remains the biggest risk to the merger, says HDFC Bank MD. Deloitte may step down as auditor of Adani Ports & SEZ ahead of the term.
Let's dive in.
