Investors’ sentiments will be guided by a host of domestic and global macroeconomic data announcements this week, along with the trading activity of foreign investors and trends in world stocks, analysts said.
Rupee-Dollar Trend and Brent Crude Impact
Besides, the rupee-dollar trend and movement of global oil benchmark Brent crude will also be crucial in dictating terms in the market, experts added.
Key Global and Domestic Influencers
“The domestic stock market is likely to be shaped by a mix of global cues, domestic economic indicators, and the flow of investments from foreign and domestic institutional investors. Key factors like the rupee’s exchange rate and crude oil prices will play a critical role in determining market trends.
Geopolitical Tensions and Emerging Markets
“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,” Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst, Swastika Investmart Ltd, said.
Macroeconomic Data to Drive Sentiment
On the economic front, significant macroeconomic releases, including retail inflation and industrial production data from India as well as US core CPI, are expected to influence overall market sentiment, Gour added.
Recent Market Performance
Last week, the BSE benchmark jumped 1,906.33 points or 2.38 per cent, and the NSE Nifty climbed 546.7 points or 2.26 per cent.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) Strategy
“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. The change in FII (Foreign Institutional Investors) strategy is getting reflected in stock price movements, particularly in large-cap banking stocks in which FIIs have been sellers,” VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services, said.
US CPI Inflation and Fed Insights
The release of US CPI inflation data will give some insights into the Fed’s December meeting, an expert said.
Focus on Domestic Economic Indicators
“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,” Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, said.
Key Global Economic Data Releases
Siddhartha Khemka, Head – Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd, said this week will see significant economic data releases, including GDP numbers from Japan and the UK, along with China’s CPI and India’s CPI.
