In today's trading session, investors will react to a host of key factors including June quarter results, India-US trade talks, macro numbers, and global cues.
US trade officials will restart talks with their Indian counterparts today amid uncertainty over issues ranging from data localisation to recent tariffs imposed by New Delhi.
The investors will also watch closely the data for industrial production for May and consumer (CPI) inflation for June to be released later in the day.
Apart from these, foreign fund flow, stock-specific action, crude oil prices and rupee movement against the US dollar could also steer indices.
