After the fall last week, investors remain worried in the stock market. In the new week, inflation figures, activity of foreign investors and global signals will decide the direction of the market. Experts believe that the market may remain within a limited range amid ups and downs.
New Delhi. After the stock market closed with a decline last week, investors are now eyeing the signals of the new week. Experts say that the movement of the market in the coming days will depend on many important domestic and global factors. Especially data related to inflation, activities of foreign investors and signals coming from other big countries including America can increase market fluctuations.
Will keep an eye on WPI inflation and trade data
This week, on the domestic front, Wholesale Price Index (WPI) inflation and trade balance figures will play an important role in deciding the direction of the market. According to experts, these figures will indicate to what extent the cost pressure is increasing. Apart from this, any positive or negative news related to the ongoing trade talks between India and America can have a direct impact on investor sentiment.
Selling by foreign investors becomes a concern
Continuous selling by foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) has increased the concern of the market. In the first two weeks of December alone, FPIs have withdrawn about Rs 17,955 crore from the Indian stock market. So far in the year 2025, the total foreign withdrawal has reached around Rs 1.6 lakh crore. According to experts, this pressure of foreign capital and sharp fall of rupee has weakened the confidence of investors.
Movement of rupee and crude oil is also important
Experts say that the movement of rupee against dollar and crude oil prices will also be important for the market this week. If the rupee weakens further, the fear of imports becoming expensive may increase, which will put pressure on the market. At the same time, the fear of inflation may increase due to rise in crude oil prices, which is considered a negative sign for investors.
Data from America and Europe will increase the stir
Experts say that this week many big figures related to inflation are going to come at the global level. Inflation data from America, Eurozone and other countries will help to gauge whether the era of interest rate cuts is about to end or not. Along with this, the increase in America’s 10-year bond yield has also increased the concern of the market.
Market will remain in range, but agreement may bring rise
According to experts, overall the market may remain within a limited range this week, although sharp fluctuations may be seen in between. He said that if there is any concrete progress regarding the India-US trade agreement, then there can be a good rise in the market. At present, investors are being advised to remain cautious, focus on strong companies and move forward with a long-term strategy.
