What should investors do?

Weak global cues are weighing on the sentiment and indications are in the favour of further decline. Nifty has breached crucial support at 18,300 and now the next support comes at the 18,000 zone. In absence of any major event, global cues will continue to dictate the trend. While, traders should align their positions as per the market trend and avoid making aggressive bets.
