NEW DELHI: The festive cheer this Diwali week seems to have rubbed off on the bulls on Dalal Street, too.
On a weekly basis, domestic benchmark indices managed to settle higher for the second straight week.
Top investors treaded with care, with the simple message to stay put. The biggest respite is oil, which tumbled below $70 to multi-month lows. As crude entered the bear market, the bulls came out for a party.
Not surprisingly, the poll conducted by Shyam Sekhar of iThought on the most key factor with a bearing on sentiment had oil on the top.

Crude's biggest fall in 34 years! Just when most pundits said 120, it cracks to 69. Volatile times. Many opportunities.
