“Pessimist mood prevailing across the global markets triggered a major sell-off in the domestic market, as investors are battling a slew of negative news from turmoil in large global banks to macro-economic concerns and falling commodity prices. Traders are also cutting down their equity bets ahead of the US Federal Reserve meeting on interest rates this week, as any aggressive hike in interest rates could spell more trouble for equity markets worldwide,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail), Kotak Securities.
