Decline in crude oil prices may ease worries over imported inflationary pressures. However, sharp gains may be prevented on risk aversion in Asian markets and FII outflows from local shares. Additionally, investors will remain vigilant ahead of economic data from the US and Fed policymakers statements to get hints on future monetary stance.
