The market sentiment was cautious ahead of the Q4 earnings season, with investors closely monitoring the performance of the companies in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

"Market participants are closely watching the Q4 earnings season for cues on the impact of the pandemic on corporate earnings. The market sentiment is cautious as the economic recovery remains fragile and uncertain," said a market expert.
