Factors Influencing Markets Through The Week
Analysts said macroeconomic indicators, global cues and foreign investor activity will be crucial in shaping market sentiment this week. Volatility is likely to rise ahead of the November derivatives expiry. On the domestic front, markets will watch a series of major macro releases, including Q2 GDP figures and industrial production data. Globally, investors will track US market movements and key economic updates, developments that Ajit Mishra, SVP–Research at Religare Broking Ltd, said will guide near-term risk appetite and influence foreign inflows.
Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments Limited, noted that persistent pressure on the rupee could trigger some profit-booking in the near term. In the coming days, he added, investors will also keep a close watch on trade-related developments.
