Domestic markets are likely to start Monday's session on a cautious note with a negative bias owing to weakness in most of the Asian indices. After the key local gauges retreated sharply on Friday, investors are likely to follow the global trend amid fears that US Federal Reserve hiking interest rates more aggressively in its policy meeting could fuel a sharp downward spiral in the coming sessions. The negativity can also be attributed to Friday’s provisional data which showed that FIIs were net sellers worth Rs 3260 crore. Further, US benchmark yields inching upwards is an indication of more pain in the market. Technically, Nifty needs to stabilize above the 17483 mark for a bright chance of its recovery to the 17731-17877 zone. Below Nifty 17483 mark, the index could further tumble to 17161 mark.
