There are near-term strong headwinds for risky assets, globally, said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services. 

"Bonds are in a strong bear market. US 10-year yield at 3.34 % and dollar index above 110 are strong headwinds for capital flows to EMs like India, FPIs are buying in the cash market but hedging through increasing short positions in the derivatives market. High volatility with downward bias is in store for the markets in the near-term," he said. 

Meanwhile, outperforming benchmark indices, Nifty Midcap gained 0.3% and Smallcap rose higher by 0.5% in early trade.
