VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services, said the market could see a good rally and saw this on Tuesday. But the question is, will this continue? Apart from the moderation in crude oil prices, there is no economic news which should help sustain the uptrend.
The dollar remains strong and US bond yields are attractive and expected to rise, he added. Given this, FIIs see no reason to change their selling strategy.
Meanwhile, international oil standard Brent crude fell by 4.19 percent to $ 109.8 per barrel. According to stock market data, foreign institutional investors are continuously making withdrawals from the capital market. He sold shares worth Rs 2,701.21 crore on Tuesday.
