Utpal Choudhury, IDBI Capital: Markets are likely to be lackluster in the short term.

The cues from the future and option suggest the sentiment is bearish which is evident from the fresh short position build up especially in Nifty futures.

FIIs have been net sellers in both cash & futures in the last two days and the dealers expect mkts to be ranged with negative bias in short-term

According to the Finance Minister stock volatility is due to global the factors and the FIIs are still keen to invest in India.
