Sanjiv Bhasin, executive vice president (markets & corporate affairs) at IIFL, said that Nifty may fall to 8,400 next week if the US Fed's comment on the pace of future rate hike disappoints market as bond yields globally are rising. A rate hike in the US will trigger selling in equities globally, he added. Mr Bhasin sees 20 per cent chance of a rate hike in Fed's two-day meeting, which ends later today.
