Ahead of Market: 10 things to watch for Monday’s stock market action

Indian shares closed lower on Friday, with the Sensex and Nifty extending losses for a fifth straight session, as concerns over global trade and political uncertainty in Washington weighed on investor sentiment. An early attempt at a recovery quickly faded, with benchmark indices sliding into the red within minutes of the open as caution returned to the market.The BSE Sensex fell 604.72 points, or 0.72%, to close at 83,576.24, while the NSE Nifty 50 fell 193.55 points, or 0.75%, to close the session at 25,683.30.

This is how analysts read the market pulse:

In India, the market remains in a consolidation phase due to weak global cues, rising bond yields and continued outflows from foreign institutional investors, despite supportive third-quarter earnings prospects, said Vinod Nair, head of research at Geojit Investments. He added that domestic risk sentiment has increased due to uncertainty over US-India tariff negotiations and escalating geopolitical tensions.Nair said: “Nonetheless, domestic GDP growth is expected to remain strong, and Q3 results should indicate a mid-cap-led recovery, potentially stabilizing investor sentiment. Despite these heightened geopolitical headwinds, the market is likely to trade within a mixed-bias range.”

The Nifty has continued its decline and has fallen further below the 50-day exponential moving average, a sign of increasing weakness, said Rupak De, senior technical analyst at LKP Securities. He added that continued selling pressure pushed the index to a multi-day low at the end.

“Market sentiment seems decisively negative. In the short term, the trend could remain weak, with a potential downside towards 25,550-25,500. On the higher side, resistance is placed at 25,850,” De further added. Warren Buffett’s Biggest Investment Isn’t Apple, BofA or Coca-Cola – It’s a Stock Hidden in Plain Sight
