Global trends, trading activity of FPIs key factors to drive mkt sentiments

Movement in the stock market this week will largely be driven by global trends, macroeconomic data announcements and trading activity of foreign investors, analysts said. Equity benchmark indices, which are on a dream run for the past several days, will also track trading in global oil benchmark Brent crude and movement of rupee against the US dollar. "The next FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting is scheduled for mid-September, but before that, the market will be closely watching upcoming US economic data. Key indicators like manufacturing PMI, non-farm payrolls, and unemployment rate will be released this week, all of which could significantly influence market sentiment. "Institutional flows will play a critical role," said Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart Ltd. The primary driver behind the bullish momentum in the domestic market is the growing anticipation of a rate cut in the United States and buying support from domestic investors. Auto stocks woul

Stock market future trajectory depends on new govt's policies, GDP growth

Future trajectory of stock market hinges on the new government's economic policies, with factors like GDP growth, inflation, and global conditions playing a key role, experts said on Tuesday. With the BJP-led NDA still looking to form a government, though with the important support of coalition partners, markets look jittery about the prospects of strong decision making. In fact, experts cautioned investors to be prepared for volatility due to currently high valuations and suggested adopting a diversified approach. Benchmark equity indices Sensex and Nifty tanked over 8 per cent in intra-day on Tuesday and later ended nearly 6 per cent lower, suffering their worst decline in four years, as trends showed the ruling BJP is short of clear majority in the Lok Sabha elections. Sensex crashed 4,389.73 points to settle at 72,079.05 and Nifty tanked 1,379.40 points to 21,884.50. However, markets jumped sharply on Monday after exit polls predicted a massive win for the BJP-led NDA in the Lo

Nifty likely to reach 25,810 by December 2024: Prabhudas Lilladher

The NSE benchmark Nifty is likely to reach the 25,800 level by December 2024 as stable economic policies and normal monsoon will boost demand growth, Prabhudas Lilladher said in a report on Thursday. The index is currently trading at 22,570.35 level. Going by the prediction of Prabhudas Lilladher, the Nifty is expected to climb another 3,239.65 points or 14.35 per cent from its current level by December-end this year. "Recently, the Nifty reached its all-time peak, but subsequently experienced a correction of around 4 per cent attributed to escalating geopolitical tensions, fluctuations in crude oil and commodity prices, and differing perspectives on the anticipated interest rate adjustments by the US Federal Reserve," Amnish Aggarwal, Head of Institutional Research, Prabhudas Lilladher, said. The Nifty is expected to scale up to 25,810 levels by December 2024, Aggarwal added. "The upward mobility in Nifty is attributed to the continuation of the NDA government and La Nina led norm
