Investor Takeaway

The Indian stock markets seem to be going through a highly volatile and uncertain phase. FIIs continue to pull their money out of the market. Even the global markets are providing no definite cues. Investors must proceed with extreme caution and keep an eye on the constantly changing geopolitical situation.
