Indian stock markets are poised for a volatile week ahead, as a series of key events, including corporate earnings, inflation data, and global macroeconomic indicators, are expected to impact investor sentiment.
Major companies like HCL Tech, Wipro, Axis Bank, JSW Steel, Tata Technologies, and HDFC Life will release their Q1 results, offering critical insights into sectoral performance.
On the economic front, India&rsquo;s June retail and wholesale inflation data will be released on July 14, while the US is expected to unveil its inflation figures on July 15, followed by industrial production and jobless claims data later in the week. These global cues could heavily sway market direction.
According to Sudip Shah of SBI Securities, the Indian market is currently consolidating and underperforming compared to global indices, indicating caution among domestic investors. Key triggers remain Q1 earnings and any update on the US-India trade deal or global tariffs.
Last week, benchmark indices saw sharp declines, with the Sensex down 932 points to 82,500.47 and Nifty shedding 311 points to 25,149.85. Sector-wise, IT, Auto, Infra, and Energy stocks declined, while FMCG stocks saw fresh buying, with the Nifty FMCG index gaining 2.15%.
All eyes will now be on how upcoming data and earnings shape the market trajectory.
