The Indian stock market has witnessed a continuous decline, raising concerns among investors. As a new week begins on Monday, uncertainty about the market's direction persists.
Business News: The Indian stock market experienced downward pressure last week, increasing investor anxiety. The question now is: what will be the market's trajectory in the upcoming trading week starting Monday? Will the current decline continue, or will the market see a resurgence? A new week is about to begin, and uncertainty regarding the market's direction remains.
Global Indicators to Influence Market Sentiment
Experts believe that the market's direction this week will depend on global trends, foreign investor activity, and news related to trade tariffs. Investors will closely monitor indicators related to the US economy, particularly the US core PCE price index and India's GDP growth figures.
Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, stated, "Market sentiment is currently weak. If companies' quarterly results surpass expectations and global liquidity improves, stability might return to the market."
Impact of Trade Wars and Global Uncertainties
Experts suggest that US trade policies and geopolitical events related to the Russia-Ukraine war could influence the Indian market's performance. Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Research at Kotak Securities, commented, "Uncertainty surrounding trade wars is increasing. Retaliatory tariffs imposed by the US on its trade partners will continue to put pressure on the global market, which could impact the Indian market as well."
Last Week's Decline and Future Prospects
Last week, the BSE Sensex fell by 628.15 points (0.82%), while the NSE Nifty slipped by 133.35 points (0.58%). Siddhartha Khemka of Motilal Oswal Financial Services says the market's direction will be determined by US trade policies, global market trends, and crude oil prices.
Should Investors Remain Cautious?
Market experts advise investors to exercise caution. Puneet Singhania, Director of Master Trust Group, notes, "Further changes in US trade policies could lead to further market declines. Conversely, if GDP data exceeds expectations, the market could regain strength."
