Pri Market Commentary ...

Today,We expect our markets to follow the global trend and inch further up, driven by further short covering. Having said that, considerable risks still remain in the system due to multi-year high inflation and rising interest rates. The political situation still remains uncertain. So, don't go overboard. May sound too basic but remember to buy at dips and not at bouncy intra-day tops.

The market seemed to have rejected the exaggerated fears of the RBI move as benchmark indices advanced after a four-day drubbing. But don't accept the gains as a reversal in sentiment as yet. Most of the gains could be attributed to the short-squeeze ahead of the F&O expiry today. Things are not looking too bad for the bulls this morning either. US ended higher (though off the day's highs) after the Federal Reserve left its key rates steady and expressed concern on rising inflation.
