V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services said, "The favourable market texture continues with declining bond yields in the US ( 10-year yield is at 4.48%) and Brent crude dipping below $80. The resilience of the market is forcing the FIIs to substantially reduce their selling which dwindled to Rs 85 crore yesterday. The FOMO ( Fear of Missing Out) factor is likely to restrain the FIIs from aggressive selling. This will be favourable for the financial sector which has been bearing the brunt of FII selling.”
