Your Business Planner This Week (Aug 20 – Aug 25)

Date:

Last week the stock markets extended their winning streak to the fourth consecutive week even as the rupee hit fresh lows against the dollar. The optimism was in part due to easing trade tensions between China and the United States and partly due to positive earnings season.

Global crude oil prices fell for the seventh trading week, while gold prices saw the worst week in the past 15 months, on the back of a stronger dollar and subdued investment buying.

Economic and business indicators will be impacted by global events this week.
