This is how analysts read the market pulse:
Continued foreign fund outflows and a weak rupee have kept markets within a narrow range, with currency volatility likely to persist until clarity on the India-US trade deal comes, said Vinod Nair, head of research at Geojit Investments. He adds that expectations of an earnings recovery in the second half of FY26, supported by monetary and fiscal growth engines, will help stabilize sentiment. “Going forward, market momentum is expected to be earnings-driven rather than valuation-driven. Investors are also awaiting key economic indicators, including US CPI inflation and unemployment data, which will shape global liquidity expectations and interest rate outlook through 2026,” Nair said.
