We begin the week with sentiments badly torn between two extremes. On one hand are the dismal domestic IIP numbers for the month of August and the other is a report released on Sunday by the World Bank which slashed the growth forecast for India's current fiscal year to 6 per cent, down from 7.5 per cent. Just to put the numbers in perspective, IIP for the month of August contracted by 1.1 per cent, a 7 year low for this indicator. On the other hand the global markets are seen trading with optimism after a 'mini' trade deal between the US and China. Look out for flat opening and watch out for developments as they unfold.
