Pri Market Commentry ...

Today, we expect our market to extend yesterday's selloff, given the plethora of negative factors, both local and global. Also, technical and F&O indicators are far from positive, and signal more pain in the immediate future. Select buying may always take place at lower levels. Review your financial comfort before adding stocks. Remain cautious at this juncture as the undertone has suddenly taken a reverse swing.

FIIs continue to be net sellers. Supporting the market at this juncture is not on anyone’s agenda. 4800 was seen as a big support for the Nifty. But, that level was breached quite easily yesterday. The put-call ratio of option contracts expiring in June is also indicating further slide. Nifty futures continues to trade at a discount to the spot index and saw addition in its open interest, suggesting fresh build up in short positions. It remains to be seen if these shorts will get covered over the next few days or will there be further increase.

Given this backdrop, one has no choice but to stay on the sidelines before there is more clarity on the market's direction.
