Comparison of Indian and American stock markets: Updates

Followings are updates to Comparison of Indian and American stock markets. The hub was published on December 12, 2008. Huge water has flown through rivers since those days. I had been periodically updating current data of Indian and American stock markets since then. This data may help you in deciding your investments.

Stock markets are mirror of the current economy and business health most of the times. All of us know that Indian economy is rising and American economy is facing crisis. Business in both the countries are behaving in the similar pattern

I have chosen Bombay Stock exchange (BSE) Sensex for Indian stock market and Dow Jones for American stock market.
