Indian markets have advanced lately on expectations of some positive news on the reforms front after the Prime Minister took additional charge as the Finance Minister. Investors will be disappointed if the Centre fails to live up to these expectations.

The quarterly results season is also underway now, prompting investors to adopt a 'wait-and-watch' approach for the time being.

Globally too, things remain quite fragile amid no sign of a permanent fix for the eurozone debt crisis and mounting worries over the economic slowdown in the US and China.

Meanwhile, Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee has backed Pranab Mukherjee's candidature ahead of Thursday’s presidential election. However, it remains to be seen if she will back some of the key reform measures that the Government is considering.

The near-term trend remains uncertain. We maintain a cautious stance as long as the Nifty trades below 5260 levels.
