US Stocks stumble

US stock market witnessed another day of bolt as the markets crashed due to the disappointing numbers on consumer spending. US Commerce department released the consumer spending data for Sep'09, showing a decline of 0.5%, first time in five months.

Dow fell by more than 1.5% to 9800 (down by 160 points). S&P 500 also came down by 2% to 1044.

However this fall in US markets may not have greater impact on Indian market on Monday. Sensex is moving based on the selling pressure by the investors who have invested in emerging markets. Moreover the market fell by more than 1% on Oct 30, a day after US markets bounced back (official data showed that US is recovering from recession). However Sensex is expected to be highly volatile in coming week as global markets are tumbling.
