 Major news for the week:
Indian indices
Indian markets closed a holiday-shortened week with heavy losses after posting 7% gain last week. Investors booked profits across the board on the back of domestic and global woes.
Back home, demand of BJP led opposition parties for resignation of Home Minister P Chidambaram on his alleged role in 2G spectrum case worried investors. Further, the government cut its economic growth forecast to 7.25%-7.75% from the previous 8% for the current year through March 2012 added to the market woes. Depreciating rupee was another cause of concern.
Doubts about domestic policy reforms and a resolution to the ongoing euro zone debt crisis kept investors jittery.
The Sensex swung 861 points between a weekly high of 17004 and a low of 16142 and closed the  week 633 points or 3.76% lower at 16213. The Nifty swung 258 points between a weekly high of 5099 and a low of 4842 and closed the week 183 points or 3.63% lower at 4867. Global indices
