Andrew Holland, chief executive officer of equities at Ambit Capital tells CNBC-TV18 that the markets are primarily being driven by liquidity at the moment. He expects the rally in equities to fizzle out soon. "If the liquidity dries up, markets will correct meaningfully," he says.
Holland says that Ambit Capital's strategy will be to short equities on every rise going forward.
