In this shortened trading week coinciding with the month's start, auto sales figures will be a crucial focus for traders. Market watchers will analyse the IIP figures and HSBC Manufacturing PMI Final statistics. The ongoing India-Pakistan situation also remains significant for market sentiment.
Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited says, “The heightened uncertainty relating to Indo-Pak tensions will weigh on the markets. It is very difficult to judge how much the market has discounted. Going by the resilience of the market, it can be said that the market has not discounted a scenario of the tensions culminating in a war between the two countries. It is important to remember that markets have an uncanny ability to surprise by climbing many walls of worries. The major factor contributing to the resilience of the market is the sustained buying by FIIs which has amounted to Rs 32465 crores in the last eight days. FIIs have turned sustained buyers in a dramatic reversal of their sustained selling strategy. This, in turn, is due to the relative under performance of US stocks, US bonds and dollar. In an environment of weakening US economy and depreciating dollar FIIs may continue to buy providing support to the market."
