Indian Stock Market Weekly Reset: 10 Key Shifts You Should Know
As we kick off the new trading week, here’s a snapshot of what’s shaping the market mood today and what to watch closely:
GIFT Nifty Signals Strong Start
GIFT Nifty is trading around 24,510, marking a premium of nearly 110 points over last week’s Nifty futures close. That’s a bullish signal hinting at a strong open for Indian benchmarks — Sensex and Nifty 50.
Global Sentiment Lifts Market Mood
Wall Street closed last week on a high, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones locking in gains for a ninth straight session — the longest winning streak in months. The positive vibes from the U.S. are setting a strong tone for Indian markets.
Muted Asia Shifts Focus to India
With major Asian markets like Japan, China, and South Korea shut for holidays, India is in the spotlight. Lower regional participation is channeling more investor attention and liquidity toward Indian equities.
FPI Flows & Crude Oil Cool-Off
The market is getting a boost from easing crude oil prices, a steady rupee, and renewed foreign portfolio investor (FPI) interest — all aligning to strengthen domestic sentiment.
What to Watch This Week
Investors will keep their eyes on:
Q4 FY25 earnings season picks up pace
US Fed’s interest rate decision
Key Indian macro data releases
India-Pakistan geopolitical developments
Global trade and economic policy cues
Market Wrap from Friday
Markets ended higher but trimmed gains due to late profit booking.
Sensex closed at 80,501.99, up 259.75 points (+0.32%)
Nifty 50 ended at 24,346.70, up 12.50 points (+0.05%)
Bottom Line: With strong cues from the U.S., calm global oil, and muted Asian action, India could lead the pack this week. Market optimism is rising — but all eyes are on key macro signals and geopolitical developments for the next big move.
