"Over last 3 days, we have seen the markets to be under pressure led by weak global cues coupled with weak results by banking major HDFC Bank,"said Gaurav Garg, Head of Research at CapitalVia Global Research.

"SGX Nifty is trading around 15600 levels which shows further weakness, even after DOW closed almost 500 points up yesterday. Hence, markets are expected to show some bearishness."
