Vinod Nair, Head-Fundamental Research, Geojit BNP Paribas Financial Services Ltd, said in a statement: "The market may remain cautious on account of factors like expiry of equity derivatives which is due on Thursday, 26th November and the start of the winter session on the same day. In the meantime, global market may remain cautious as the focus is on the Fed rate hike which is likely to happen in December 15 - January 16."
