VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments said, "September crude is trading at $76, which means the market doesn’t believe that the situation will aggravate. Globally, markets haven’t panicked. But the scenario needs to be watched closely.  Another important trend is that the trend of FIIs turning buyers continues. During the last four trading days, FIIs have been buyers in India. They have bought equity for Rs 3954 crores in the cash market in the last four days. This trend may continue if crude remains stable. Large caps generally, and in financials and automobiles in particular, are likely to remain resilient."
