CPI inflation stood at 4.91% for November. This is a month high but is still better than the expectation. This is within the RBI target as well.

The markets will be rather volatile today. We saw heavy FII selling yesterday and such intraday moves can kill the traders. Make sure that you go for safe entries.

All the indicators show that the market will open with a gap-down. 17,250 is a strong support for NIFTY. If that is broken, 17,200 can offer support. I will be closely watching how the European markets open today as it can have a major impact on NIFTY today.
