Shravan Shetty, Managing Director, Primus Partners, shared his view that markets are likely to remain under pressure as crude prices approach the $100 mark. He noted that domestic markets opened nearly 1% lower in line with global declines, and with the advance–decline ratio at around 1:2, markets are expected to close in the red, with mid-cap stocks seeing sharper declines as indicated by the mid-cap index falling close to 1.5%.
