NEW DELHI: Investor sentiment for the next week is expected to be influenced by a combination of factors, including domestic and global macroeconomic data announcements along with the trading activity of foreign investors and trends in world stocks, as per analysts.
They also pointed out that the rupee-dollar exchange rate and global oil prices, particularly Brent crude, will be important for market calculations.
Pravesh Gour, senior technical analyst at Swastika Investmart Ltd said, “Globally, geopolitical tensions, particularly the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, continue to pose challenges. However, recent declines in the dollar index and US bond yields have created a more favourable environment for emerging markets like India.”
Economic indicators like key macroeconomic data releases, such as India’s retail inflation and industrial production figures, along with the US core CPI, are expected to impact overall market sentiment, he added.
In the past week, the BSE benchmark surged by 1,906.33 points, or 2.38 per cent, while the NSE Nifty gained 546.7 points, or 2.26 per cent.
VK Vijayakumar, chief investment strategist at Geojit Financial Services told PTI, “FIIs turning buyers in early December, in a total reversal of their sustained selling strategy during the last two months, has altered the market sentiments.”
He further noted that the shift in FII strategy is evident in stock price movements, especially in large-cap banking stocks, where FIIs had previously been net sellers.
US Consumer Price Index inflation data release is also said to give some insights into the Fed’s December meeting.
Ajit Mishra , SVP at research, Religare Broking Ltd, said,”The markets’ attention is expected to turn towards macroeconomic indicators like IIP and CPI inflation. Additionally, the trend of FII inflows, following their recent buying spree, will remain a key focal point for market participants.”
Siddhartha Khemka, head of research and wealth management at Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd, stated that this week will feature key economic data releases, including GDP figures from Japan and the UK, as well as CPI data from China and India.
