Speaking on the current stock market scenario Prakash Pandey, MD & CEO at Plutus Adisors said, "This dip in Indian share market is due to the profit-booking as the market had rose around 9 per cent yesterday. But, major trigger for the market is how US comes out of the coronavirus and how COVID-19 impacts the US society. Any further weakness in the US market may further trigger bearish trend in the global indices that includes Indian stock market as well." Pandey advised traders to continue booking profit on every 6-7 per cent rise in Indian markets.
