"Markets took a pause after the recent rebound and ended almost unchanged, in absence of any major trigger", Ajit Mishra, VP - Research, Reliagare Broking wrote in a note. He added "global markets, especially the US, are still not offering indications for a sustained recovery so volatility is here to stay and participants should plan overnight positions accordingly. Meanwhile, on the index front, the tone would remain positive till the Nifty holds 17,100. We feel the prudent approach is to focus on top-performing stocks from across sectors and use intermediate dips to add them instead of chasing laggards, in hope of a rebound".
