"The market is set to start the week on a weak note from global cues. Brent crude has spiked to $111 on absence of initiatives to open the Strait of Hormuz. Elevated crude may force another round of price hikes in petrol and diesel, which will have negative implications for inflation. The spike in the US 10-year bond yield to 4.62 % is another negative factor for EM equity markets. Rupee may further depreciate, aggravating the vicious cycle of rupee depreciation and FPI selling," said Dr VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited.
