Mumbai, Nov 2 (NationPress) The upcoming week is poised to be dynamic for the Indian stock markets, as investors shift their attention to significant corporate earnings reports, a lineup of new IPOs, and vital trade discussions between India and the United States.
These elements are likely to influence the direction of the Sensex and Nifty after both indices concluded the previous week with slight declines.
The Sensex dropped by 465.75 points, or 0.55%, finishing at 83,938.71, while the Nifty ended 155.75 points, or 0.60%, lower at 25,722 on Friday.
Weak global indicators and profit-taking amidst mixed corporate earnings affected investor confidence. Throughout the month, the Sensex appreciated by 4.6% and the Nifty rose 4.5%.
Broader markets also wrapped up lower, with the BSE Midcap index falling 0.55% and the Smallcap index decreasing 0.40%.
Next week, numerous major corporations, including Bharti Airtel, Titan Company, Adani Enterprises, Adani Ports, InterGlobe Aviation, Mahindra & Mahindra, Paytm, SBI, Britannia, Lupin, Bajaj Auto, and Hindalco Industries, are anticipated to release their quarterly earnings.
The market is likely to draw direction from these earnings announcements.
On the policy front, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal noted that India is nearing the final stages of discussions with the United States regarding a bilateral trade agreement.
Goyal further emphasized that discussions with the European Union are also progressing positively.
Meanwhile, the primary market is preparing for a bustling week with five IPOs set to open for subscription — two on the mainboard and three in the SME segment.
Furthermore, five new companies will debut in the stock market next week, adding to the market excitement.
With a blend of corporate earnings, trade discussions, and IPO activities, analysts predict market volatility in the upcoming week.
“Global indicators and updates concerning US-India trade negotiations will significantly influence investor sentiment,” they noted.
Regarding market levels, the Nifty has immediate support at 25,600 and 25,500, which could present buying opportunities during dips.
“On the upside, resistance is identified at 25,800 and 26,000, with the latter serving as a critical barrier. A sustained breakout above 26,000 could lead to a bullish trend, potentially targeting the 26,100–26,300 range in the coming weeks,” market analysts remarked.
