Macroeconomic data, foreign fund flows and IPO activity are likely to be on investors' radar on Dalal Street this week. Globally, investors will track a slew of speeches by central bankers for more clarity on the course of COVID-era interest rates, as red-hot inflation and slowing economic growth continue to hurt their appetite for risk.
Movement in crude oil and foreign exchange rates will also be tracked closely.
The week that was
Last week, Indian equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty50 rose 1.7 percent each financial and IT shares, following two back-to-back weeks of losses, as investors globally digested hawkish remarks from Fed policymakers and the ECB's unprecedented hike of 75 basis points in the key rate.
"While the energy crisis in Europe continued to haunt investors, Chinese policymakers' renewed efforts to strengthen its economy boded well for the Chinese bourses. In an effort to stabilise declining oil prices, the OPEC+ opted to cut back on output given the faltering global growth outlook," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
Broad-based gains supported the market, backed by persistent inflows by foreign institutional investors. The Nifty Bank clocked a third straight weekly gain.
A total of 37 stocks in the Nifty50 basket rose for the week. Shree Cement, Tech Mahindra, Adani Ports, Bharat Petroleum and Axis Bank were the top gainers.
On the other hand, Bajaj Auto, Tata Motors, Nestle, Tata Consumer and Britannia were the top laggards.
Broader indices also strengthened, with the Nifty Midcap 100 rising for the 12th week in a row.
| Index | Weekly change (%) |
| Nifty Midcap 100 | 2 |
| Nifty Smallcap 100 | 3.3 |
Foreign institutional investors remained net buyers of Indian shares, after emerging net purchasers for a first full calendar month since September 2021.
