Q4 earnings, tariff moves, FII trading likely to drive markets this week
Trading sentiment in the equity market will largely be driven by domestic corporate quarterly earnings, any update related to US tariffs and foreign fund movements this week, analysts said. Investors would also focus on world market trends, movement of global oil benchmark Brent crude and the rupee-dollar trend for further cues, experts noted. "This week, all eyes will be on the earnings reports of companies like HCL Technologies, Axis Bank, Hindustan Unilever, and Maruti. Globally, any updates related to tariffs and their potential impact on world markets will remain in focus," Ajit Mishra SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, said. Stocks of India's second-largest IT company Infosys will remain in focus on Monday after the firm reported an 11.7 per cent decline in consolidated net profit to Rs 7,033 crore for the March quarter, mainly on account of compensation to employees, and acquisitions during the reported period.

FPIs pull out Rs 24,753 crore from equities in first week of March
Foreign investors continue to pull back money from the Indian equity market, withdrawing Rs 24,753 crore (about USD 2.8 billion) in the first week of March amid escalating global trade tensions and lacklustre corporate earnings. This came following an outflow of Rs 34,574 crore from equities in February and Rs 78,027 crore in January. The total outflow by FPIs has reached Rs 1.37 lakh crore in 2025 so far, data with the depositories showed. According to the data with the depositories, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) offloaded shares worth Rs 24,753 crore from Indian equities this month (till March 7). This also marks the 13th consecutive week of net outflows. Since December 13, 2024, FPIs have offloaded equity shares to the tune of USD 17.1 billion. The sustained selling by overseas investors is chiefly due to a combination of global and domestic factors. A major catalyst continues to be the escalation in global trade tensions, which significantly weigh on investor sentiment.

Nifty valuation decent, reasonable, markets may see some correction: Goyal
After some sell-off during the week, Union Minister Piyush Goyal on Saturday opined that the 50-share benchmark Nifty's valuation is decent and reasonable. Goyal, who oversees the commerce and industry portfolio, said that there can be some more correction in the offing for the Indian markets. A forward price-to-earnings ratio of 19 makes the Nifty valuations "decent" and "reasonable". "Some of them (Nifty stocks) may have seen some downfall, but by and large the Nifty still reflects decent valuations," Goyal said, speaking at an event organised by mutual fund industry's lobby grouping Amfi here. "At a P/E ratio of 19 for a developing nation which is the fastest growing country, it (valuation) is still reasonable - some small correction here or there may still happen," he added. Goyal said that the ongoing correction in the markets should serve as a wake-up call for the ones who have not advised the small investors properly, and asked Amfi to ensure that it isolates those who have

India's first woman Sebi Chief Madhabi Puri Buch, who faced conflict of interest allegations by the US-based short-seller Hindenburg and also political heat thereafter, would complete her three-year tenure later on Friday and will be succeeded by Finance Secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey.
