Outlook for Wednesday:-

· Markets will react to suggestions on participatory notes by SEBI. Opening will be sharply lower.

· This market has gone from strength to strength with every correction, now we have to see whether today’s morning sell-off is followed by good support. The rally so far has been massive and a correction is welcomed here.

· It is better to be light on positions when politicians are interfering with various statements. One needs to see if market takes support at aforementioned levels and then take a call.

· Crude at $87 is weighing down US markets. Yesterday all Indian ADRs closed quite negative on the back of weak Dow and some effect of SEBI statements too.

(Keep SL in short-term trades)

Results today – Alembic, Allahabad Bank, Essel Prop, GAIL, GDL, HCL Tech, Infotech Enter, KPIT, NDTV, Polaris, Rel Energy, RNRL, Yes Bank
