Indian stock markets are likely to witness a muted start as Asian markets traded flat after strong US recovery. The Nifty could see another lackluster day on low volumes & mid cap outperformance.
Consolidation is on the cards as more corporate results are announced, which will decide the trend going forward. Rupee strength will improve sentiment and could see the return of foreign flows.
For today buying in banks, select capital goods could do well on the long side, while selling in IT, banks & cement should provide a decent hedge.
