Sell up due to strong increase in bond yield
Experts say that the selling pressure in the stock market will remain for the time being due to the strong increase in the yield of the bond. However, short-term declines will lead to buying and selling in the upside. The trend towards foreign institutional investors (FIIs) investment will also be watched by the market. On Friday last week, FIIs sold more than 8,000 crore rupees from the Indian stock market. Investors will also keep an eye on the price of crude oil in the international market and the movement of the domestic currency rupee against the US dollar.
