Foreign institutional investors continued their selling spree in Indian markets as they offloaded shares worth Rs 8,142.60 crore on a net basis on Tuesday, according to exchange data.

"Market may remain volatile due to the Russia-Ukraine crisis. Trend in global equities, movement of rupee against the dollar and crude oil prices will dictate trend in the near-term," according to Mitul Shah, Head of Research at Reliance Securities.

V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services said, "Negative sentiments in global stock markets persist. As long as the war lingers and crude remains at high levels a sustained rally is unlikely."
