Fed meeting outcome among 6 factors likely to impact D-Street activity next week
Markets faced sustained pressure throughout the week, slipping by over a percent amid escalating geopolitical tensions and uncertain global signals. After a tepid start, benchmark indices steadily moved lower as volatility picked up, eventually closing near their weekly lows. The Nifty settled at 24,718, while the Sensex ended at 81,118 — both marking a significant retreat from recent highs. ADVERTISEMENT On the domestic front, investor sentiment took a hit due to concerns over rising oil import costs and lingering global uncertainty. Persistent selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) contributed to the downward pressure, driven by elevated U.S. bond yields and a stronger dollar, which triggered capital outflows. While domestic macro indicators, including further easing in inflation, offered some comfort, the broader caution in global markets continued to overshadow the positive data. 'The Nifty slipped sharply, breaching the 21-EMA—a key short-term moving average. However, it found support near the recent consolidation lows, leading to a strong intraday recovery. Going forward, the recovery could gain traction if the Nifty sustains above the 24,700 level. On the upside, the index may move towards 25,000 in the short term. Conversely, a decisive fall below 24,700 could trigger renewed bearish bets in the market,' Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP that are likely to impact movement when markets reopen this week: The U.S. Federal Reserve's upcoming policy decision will be closely tracked, as market participants look for clarity on the timing and magnitude of potential rate cuts, especially in light of mixed economic signals. ADVERTISEMENT Tensions between and Israel and Iran are likely to be closely monitored by the market participants. The trend in foreign institutional investor (FII) flows will also be closely monitored. On Friday, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were net sellers at Rs 1,233.47 crore, while the domestic institutional investors (DIIs) were net buyers at Rs 2,906.13 crore. 'Technically, the Nifty has re-entered its consolidation range, and a decisive move beyond the 24,400–25,200 zone will be required to establish the next directional trend. In the event of a breakdown, the 24,000 level is expected to act as a crucial support, whereas a breakout above 25,200 could trigger a sustained rally toward the 25,600 mark,' said Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research at Religare Broking. ADVERTISEMENT He also noted that the banking index, which plays a key role in market sentiment, has failed to hold its breakout above the 56,000 mark and is now expected to find support in the 54,000–54,600 range. A decisive move above 56,500 will be essential to revive momentum in the financial oil futures surged over 10% to $76 per barrel, the highest in two months and logged the biggest single-day rally in the last 5 years, as escalating tensions between Israel and Iran sparked fears of severe supply disruptions. With Israel launching a pre-emptive strike and Iran vowing retaliation, including potential attacks on US bases, the threat to the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil artery, looms large. ADVERTISEMENT 'Supporting the price rally, U.S. crude inventories fell more than expected, signalling robust demand. Additionally, weaker U.S. inflation data reinforced expectations of a Fed rate cut by September, potentially lifting future oil demand,' said Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities at Mehta Equities.'In the international market, WTI crude oil prices are expected to find support near $70, with resistance at $74.80. Domestically, key levels are seen at ₹6,100 for support and ₹6,480 as resistance,' he traded very weak below 86.05, down by 0.52 rupees, despite a softer dollar index, as risk sentiment deteriorated sharply following Israel's attack on Iran. The escalation in Middle East tensions pushed WTI crude prices above $74, marking a 9% surge, which added significant pressure on the rupee. ADVERTISEMENT Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency at LKP Securities, said that the currency is expected to trade in a volatile range between 85.60 and 86.50 in the near term.

Dalal Street week ahead: Israel-Iran news, US Fed meeting among 5 key triggers for Indian stock market in coming week
Dalal Street week ahead: A flare-up in tensions between Israel and Iran, persistent uncertainty around the US tariff policy, and foreign capital outflows weighed heavily on the Indian stock market last week. The benchmark Nifty 50 closed at 24,718.60, down 0.68 per cent, on Friday. HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries, ITC, ICICI Bank, and SBI were among the top drags on the index. For the week ended June 13, the Nifty 50 declined 1.14 per cent, while the Sensex fell 1.30 per cent. Broader market also declined but they still outperformed. The BSE Midcap index fell 0.90 per cent, while the BSE Smallcap slipped 0.13 per cent. "The Indian equity market witnessed heightened volatility last week, ultimately closing in the red. Early optimism, driven by progress in US–China trade negotiations, was overshadowed by escalating geopolitical tensions after Israel launched a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. This development sparked a global risk-off sentiment, leading to a rally in safe-haven assets such as gold and US bonds," Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments, observed. The upcoming week has several key market triggers, including Israel-Iran news, the US Fed policy outcome, and the progress of the monsoon. "Looking ahead, investors are expected to remain cautious amid premium valuations and geopolitical risks. All eyes are now on the upcoming U.S. Fed meeting, where interest rates are likely to remain unchanged. However, the Fed's commentary and economic projections will be closely scrutinised for future policy cues," said Nair. News flows surrounding the Israel and Iran conflict will probably be the biggest trigger for markets globally next week. Tensions in the Middle East have been escalating in recent days, raising concerns that the Israel-Iran conflict could intensify and broaden in scope. According to the Wall Street Journal, Washington is moving towards more direct involvement in the Israel-Iran episode as the US military is shooting down Iranian missiles fired at Israel, in response to Israel's attacks on Iran's nuclear sites and military leaders. Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Saturday that the UK is moving military assets, including jets, to the Middle East for contingency support across the region. The US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, which will begin on June 17 and conclude on June 18, will be a key focus area for investors. The US Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates unchanged amid uncertainty over the impact of US tariff policy on the economy. Recent inflation data suggest that price increases have been largely benign. The US headline consumer price index (CPI) for May increased at a softer-than-expected pace of 0.1 per cent month-on-month and was 2.4 per cent year-on-year. Core CPI increased 0.1 per cent month-on-month and 2.8 per cent year-on-year. According to Madhavi Arora, Lead Economist at Emkay Global Financial Services, the market continues to price in two Fed cuts in 2025. The probability of a cut next week is zero, with the next cut expected in October. "While the CPI print is somewhat reassuring, there remains very little signal in the data, with firms continuing to manage tariffs for now – tariffs will likely only show up in the data (either through higher inflation or lower profit margins) a few months down the line. In such a scenario, the Fed will remain in wait-and-watch mode," said Arora. After a sharp 7 per cent surge in Brent Crude on Friday, investors will also focus on the trajectory of crude oil prices next week. Brent crude oil futures gained $4.87, or 7.02 per cent, to settle at $74.23 a barrel after earlier soaring over 13 per cent to an intraday high of $78.50, the strongest level since January 27. For the week, Brent oil prices rallied 12.5 per cent. India is one of the largest importers of crude oil in the world, and a prolonged period of elevated crude oil prices will result in a higher trade deficit. This may weaken the rupee, reignite inflationary risks, and erode corporate profitability by increasing input costs. "Crude oil prices are highly susceptible to further spikes. With Iran being OPEC's third-largest oil producer, any further intensification of the conflict raises concerns about potential supply disruptions from the critical Middle East region," Sugandha Sachdeva, Founder of SS WealthStreet, observed. "Higher crude prices are likely to impact oil marketing companies (OMCs), which will face margin pressure, while input costs for paint and cement companies will rise, impacting their profitability. Transportation and logistics costs will also surge across the economy," said Sachdeva. Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have emerged as the net sellers of Indian equities in the cash segment for the current month. In June so far, they have sold off Indian stocks worth ₹ 4,812 crore in the cash segment amid geopolitical tensions, stretched domestic market valuations, and the rupee's weakness. Continuous selling by FPIs will weigh on the Indian stock market, potentially keeping it in the lower orbit. In the coming week, several key macroeconomic data, including India's May WPI Inflation prints and trade balance data on June 16, the eurozone's consumer price index data for May on June 18 and US initial jobless claims on June 18, will be on investors' radar. Apart from these five key factors, several other developments, such as the progress of the monsoon, the G-7 summit between June 15-17 in Alberta, Canada, the Bank of Japan's policy decision on June 17, and news flows about trade deals between the US and its key trading partners, will be important for the market.
