VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services said, “Nifty is finding it difficult to break the 18100-18400 range, in spite of favourable global cues and good Q4 results. The US 10-year bond yield has risen to 3.64 and the rupee has weakened to 82.65 to the dollar. This currency movement is not supportive for the equity market. And FII buying is getting neutralised by DII selling. The sell on rally strategy of the bears has been working this week. The near-term outlook is cloudy.”
