Investor Alert! 5 Things That’ll Move the Market This Week

Markets closed on a strong note last week, with both Sensex and Nifty posting gains of over 2%. But now comes the big question: Will the momentum last?

Here are 5 key drivers that can steer Dalal Street this week:

1. FIIs Turning Buyers Again
   After months of choppy moves, foreign investors were net buyers last week — a rare positive signal in recent months.
2. Crude Oil Drop = Inflation Relief?
   Brent crude dropped under $82/barrel. That’s a big relief for oil-importing India — lower fuel prices often mean better inflation control.
3. RBI & Fed Policy Talk
   While no rate changes are expected immediately, any hawkish or dovish commentary from global banks can impact FIIs and bond yields.
4. Monsoon Progress
   Agricultural stocks and FMCGs are watching rain maps like hawks. IMD says monsoon is “normal”, but eyes are on actual field-level progress.
5. Auto Sales Data
   Maruti, Tata Motors, M&M, and others will release June-end sales numbers. Could drive action in the auto basket.

💡 eBharat Insight:
If global cues stay supportive, Nifty could attempt to test 24,500 this week. But traders should keep tight stop-losses — July usually brings a few surprises.
