Investor Takeaway

Although the market has snapped its losing streak on the back of positive developments in the Middle East, the near-term trend remains bearish. Markets are highly sensitive to geopolitical developments and volatility could continue for the time being. Investors should trade with caution and wait for key resistance and support levels for large-scale buying or selling.
