MARKET VIEW "The last 6 out of 7 days, we have witnessed an extreme bout of selling in the key indices and stocks. Every rise getting sold and Bulls coerced to give in recently, with key supports breached. Today, was no different day, where volatility was extreme. We believe that the approach to the market remains cautious. If the indices break the previous low and close below that (i.e. 8270), then it could trigger a short term correction. Else, this could very well be termed as a bounce off the support levels. However, for a new trend to begin, Banknifty has to break 19000 levels. " said Kunal Bothra, Head -Advisory, LKP. ECONOMY The clarification from the Indian government that it would honor tax treaties while making a demand of Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) at the effective rate of 20 per cent came as a relief for favorable treaty nations.
