Global cues and macroeconomic data will be the most important things this week as they will determine the direction of the stock markets during a business week that was cut short by holidays. Since markets will be closed on Thursday for Eid-Ul-Fitr, buyers are getting ready for a lot of events that will affect how people feel about the market, such as earnings reports and economic indicators.
Earnings Season Starts: TCS Sets the Tone
Indian companies are getting ready to show how they did during the Q4 earnings season. IT services giant TCS is leading the way. TCS is set to report its earnings for the quarter ending March 2024 on April 12, 2024. These results will set the tone for the company’s overall profits. India’s industry production data and inflation data for March will also show how well the economy is doing.
Foreign investments, currency trends, and the price of crude oil are some of the things that drive the market.
The direction of the stock market will depend on both earnings reports and outside factors like the flow of foreign investment, the value of the rupee against the dollar, and changes in the price of crude oil. Investors will keep a close eye on these signs to get a sense of how the market feels and to see if trends are likely to change.
