Macro and Market Factors
Cues from Wall Street are not positive with concerns over losses in the banking sector triggering some selling. Asian markets are trading mixed today.
The data on inflation will be eyed. The recent cut in Repo and Reverse Repo rates and hopes several commercial banks will reduce lending rates to spur growth may prevent the market from sliding down sharply.
