Pri Market Commentary ...

Today, we expect the market to regain its winning ways at start but may remain choppy in the face of continuing uncertainty over the fate of the global economy. Inflation will be out today and is likely to fall further. But, that anyway has been factored in by most players.

Having said that, the advance is unlikely to sustain unless the headwinds - both global as well as local - gradually start dissipating. As a result, we would continue to maintain the view that every rally should be used to lock in gains though long-term investors can continue to dabble in quality stocks at lower levels. Remember quality stocks. Catch them only if you can get a grip on the handle.

Markets might continue to remain sluggish ahead of inflation data to be released tomorrow. Also in the US, Morgan Stanley would announce its Q4 results. It is advisable to stay cautious.
