The Indian stock market concluded the week on a negative note as profit booking, uncertainty over the India-US trade deal, caution before the earnings season, and foreign capital outflow weighed on investor sentiment. Nifty 50 and Sensex both closed 0.70% lower, ending their two-week gaining streak. Midcap and Smallcap segments, however, showcased resilience with a positive performance. The upcoming week holds significance with key triggers such as the India-US trade deal, Q1FY26 earnings announcements, progress of the monsoon, foreign capital flow dynamics, and insights from the US FOMC's last meeting. The market awaits clarity on the trade negotiations between India and the US, which are crucial for sectors like IT, pharmaceuticals, and auto components. The earning season kickstarts with IT majors TCS and Tata Elxsi set to announce their results. The momentum of the monsoon and its impact on various sectors will be closely monitored. Foreign capital outflow continues amidst trade uncertainties, market valuations, and earning trends. The minutes of the US FOMC's last meeting will provide crucial insights into the future path of interest rates and global market sentiments. Overall, the market remains cautiously optimistic but awaits key developments to determine its short-term trajectory.
