  • The currency is stable, but the RBI is defending the rupee by selling dollars.
  • Sectoral performance varied, with oil and gas being slammed down, IT stocks also down, and autos making a comeback.
  • The US market saw the NASDAQ rise 1.29%, while the Dow Jones was flat and the S&P rose 0.5%.
  • A long-term investment perspective is encouraged, with a story about a friend who has been buying HFC Bank since the late '90s, highlighting the importance of looking at long-term data.
