Pre-market commentary: Short term investors need to be cautious as markets extremely volatile

<< Benchmark indices are expected to make a gap down opening as suggested by trends on SGX Nifty. Both European and US markets closed in red as no middle ground can be found to stop the tussle between Russia and Ukraine.

<< The news of Russian attack on Europe's biggest nuclear power plant located in Ukraine has sent strong negative signals to the already jittery market.

<< Investor sentiments are also weak due to rising prices of crude oil and natural gas. The corporate earnings can take a hit due to this as companies are already facing the pressure of rising input cost.

 

<< Short term investors and traders should remain cautious as markets are showing extreme volatility. Long term investors should not be worried as these significant dips present a good opportunity to accumulate quality stocks.

 

<< On the technical front, the key resistance level for nifty50 is 16,650 followed by 16,800 and on the downside 16,360 followed by 16,200 can act as strong support.
