Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, said Persistent concern over global inflation and likely Fed rate hike acted as the major headwinds for the domestic market to tumble for the third consecutive day. "High volatility due to rising bond yields is pressuring foreign investors to pull out funds from highly valued markets like India. As the recent earnings failed to excite the market, the on-going global volatility drained investor confidence," he added.

''Going forward, the trend is likely to remain weak as long as the Nifty sustains below 17900. On the lower end support seen at 17610, below which more downside may come in the market," said Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities.
