"Technically the market is still weak and the next technical target in 5833.The market has seen a low at very strong technical support of 5738 and if that goes then 5688 is not ruled out", says Prakash Gaba, a Mumbai based technical analyst.

In the Asian markets, Hang Seng, Jakarta Composite and Taiwan Weighted are the only indices in the green, trading up 0.1% each. On the other hand, Japan's Nikkei average lost 0.2% backing away from an eight-month closing peak hit last week, as investors worried that Portugal may be the next eurozone member forced to seek a bailout.
