Markets in the country displayed the expected jitteriness
on Monday with the rupee slipping against the dollar to end
at a low of 48.12 and the Sensex going down by 47.53 points
as the United States launched the much-awaited attack against
terrorism in Afghanistan on Sunday. The second day of the war
of the millennium also saw GoI securities dipping by 50 to 75
paise. Humanity’s loss, however, proved to be gold’s gain, which
regained its pristine glory at 4,880 per ten gram.
