Markets may start on a cautious note amid fall in SGX Nifty and overnight weakness in the US markets. But recovery in other key Asian gauges could provide some relief to investors. Adding to the recent optimism would be the robust monthly GST numbers, which hit a new all-time high in terms of collections in April, indicating that the domestic economy continues to be on strong footing despite global macroeconomic challenges. However, some amount of caution could prevail after the last week's upsurge and it wouldn't be surprising if profit-taking comes into play. Technically, the Nifty options data suggests Nifty is likely to be in a trading range of 17800-18500 zone.
