On February 20, Indian benchmark indices continued to rise for the sixth straight day, with Nifty crossing 22,200 for the first time.
Kotak Mahindra Bank
The announcement that KVS Manian of Kotak Mahindra Bank was being considered for the MD & CEO position at Facebook caused the stock of Federal Bank to rise by around 10% following the results correction. But Mr. Manian’s promotion to JMD by KMB, pending RBI approval, may dash expectations for him to run for FB. Analysts predicted that any stock spike triggered by this news would probably reverse.
