Earnings, crude oil, Jio IPO key monitorables for investors next week

Quarterly earnings, crude oil, Jio Platforms' initial public offering and trading activity of foreign investors will drive investors' sentiment in a holiday-shortened week ahead, analysts said. Besides, developments in West Asia and the rupee-dollar trend would be tracked by investors. "Indian equities enter the coming week with improved momentum following two consecutive weekly advances and a strong recovery led by information technology stocks. The sustainability of this move remains to be established. Elevated crude oil prices, geopolitical uncertainty, global bond market movements and uneven market breadth continue to warrant caution. "Investors are likely to focus on whether the recent rally broadens beyond IT stocks and whether the benchmark indices can sustain their gains above immediate resistance levels," Ponmudi R, CEO - Enrich Money, an online trading and wealth tech firm, said. The proposed Jio Platforms IPO, which will open on October 21, is another key event to watch,

Q2 earnings, inflation data, oil prices may drive stock markets this week

Major quarterly earnings from companies like Wipro and HCL Tech, along with inflation figures, global trends, and crude oil price movements, will drive stock market movement this week, analysts said. Market investors will also watch foreign investor trading activity, rupee movement, US Treasury yields, and geopolitical developments. "September CPI inflation will be the first major domestic test this week. A stronger-than-expected reading could revive concerns over further RBI tightening, putting rate-sensitive sectors such as banking, automobiles and real estate under pressure while raising the risk of a broader drag on consumer demand. "A softer print could ease concerns over the eventual peak in interest rates, but any relief may prove short-lived if Brent crude remains above USD 100 a barrel. Wholesale price inflation data will offer a further indication of how elevated energy and logistics costs are filtering through to producer prices," Hariselvan Radhakrishnan, Founder & CEO
