The past week ended on a cheery note, as the benchmark equity indices continued to be in the greens for five days in a row. The BSE Sensex saw a big climb of 450 points on Friday.

The rupee continued to strengthen and breached the 70 level, as the greenback softened against major global currencies after US Fed Chairman Jerome Powells dovish comments. A fall in crude oil prices was like a cherry on top of the investors cake.

From the G20 meet to the debate surrounding the revised GDP print, lets have a look as to what Dalal Streets Twitterati had to say.

Starting off with a puny tongue-in-cheek Haiku on the market mood from Safir Anand.

YES Bank continued to claim the spotlight. The stock rode a roller-coaster, its scrip extending its slide and plummeting to a 52-week low on Thursday. However, the stock erased its five-day losing streak on Friday and gained 5.3 per cent.
