Stock market in upcoming week: Global cues, foreign fund trends to drive momentum
Indian equities, over the upcoming week, are expected to be driven by a combination of domestic macroeconomic data, global cues, and foreign investor activity in the coming week, analysts said.
Equity benchmarks ended the previous week on a muted note, weighed down by ongoing global uncertainties. The
BSE Sensex
fell 609.51 points or 0.74%, while the NSE Nifty declined 166.65 points or 0.66%.
Ajit Mishra, senior vice president of research at Religare Broking Ltd said that subdued performance was driven by a combination of global and domestic factors.
'On the global front, rising US bond yields and concerns over the United States' mounting debt burden triggered foreign portfolio outflows, putting pressure on emerging markets, including India,' Mishra told PTI.
In the upcoming week, investors will be closely tracking the release of key macroeconomic data. India's industrial and manufacturing output data for April, due on May 28, and the first quarter GDP figures will offer critical insights into the pace of economic recovery. Additionally, updates on monsoon progress will be keenly followed, given their impact on inflation and rural demand.
Globally, the market will stay alert to developments in the US bond market, the minutes from the Federal Reserve's latest policy meeting, and progress in India-US trade negotiations—all of which could sway investor sentiment.

'Moreover, the scheduled monthly expiry of May derivatives contracts and the final leg of the Q4 earnings season with results from key companies like Bajaj Auto, Aurobindo Pharma and IRCTC will remain in focus,' Mishra added.
Another key trigger is expected to be the
Reserve Bank of India
's (RBI) record dividend payout of Rs 2.7 lakh crore to the government for FY25—27.4% higher than last year. Analysts believe this could offer significant fiscal support at a time when the government is navigating higher defence spending and external tariff challenges.
"Markets are expected to remain firm, with participation likely from the broader market segments as macro and earnings tailwinds continue to provide support. Investors will also be closely watching key data releases this week, including quarterly GDP figures for both India and the US," said Siddhartha Khemka, head of research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services.
The RBI dividend transfer will be among the first developments that investors respond to on Monday, with possible implications for bond yields and fiscal policy expectations.
"Given the continued uncertainty surrounding the US economy, foreign investment flows, and trade negotiations, Indian markets may see a phase of consolidation in the near term," noted Gaurav Garg, Analyst at Lemonn Markets Desk.
Vinod Nair, head of research at Geojit Financial Services, added that while strong domestic macroeconomic indicators and optimism around the RBI dividend are encouraging, persistent FII outflows remain a concern. "Investor attention is further revolving around US-India trade talks and strong domestic macroeconomic indicators. However, recent FII outflows, driven by rising US bond yields amid concerns over mounting US debt, may weigh on the market sentiment," he said.
Nair added that hopes for fiscal consolidation have been lifted by optimism revolving around RBI's potentially record-high dividend.

India's Extreme Poverty Fell Sharply To 5.3% In 2022-23 From 27.1% In 2011-12: World Bank
Last Updated: Only 75.24 million people were living in extreme poverty in India during 2022-23, a drastic reduction from 344.47 million in 2011-12, according to the data India has made significant strides in reducing its extreme poverty rate, which fell to 5.3% in 2022–23 from 27.1% in 2011–12, according to updated World Bank data. This remarkable decline signals a transformative shift in the country's economic landscape over the past decade. The figures are noteworthy: only 75.24 million people were living in extreme poverty in India during 2022–23, a drastic reduction from 344.47 million in 2011–12. This indicates that 269 million individuals were lifted out of extreme poverty over approximately 11 years. Such progress highlights the effectiveness of government initiatives, economic reforms, and improved access to essential services, say analysts. The World Bank's assessment, based on the $3.00 per day international poverty line (using 2021 prices), shows a broad-based reduction across both rural and urban areas. While the overall extreme poverty rate fell to 5.3%, if measured by the earlier $2.15 poverty rate (based on 2017 prices), only 2.3% of the Indian population lived in extreme poverty in 2022–23, down from 16.2% in 2011–12. This effectively lifted 171 million people above that specific poverty line. This sharp decline was uniformly observed, with rural extreme poverty falling from 18.4% to 2.8% and urban extreme poverty reducing from 10.7% to 1.1% between 2011–12 and 2022–23. The narrowing gap between rural and urban poverty indicates that the benefits of economic growth have reached various segments of the population.

HC bench orders UP govt not to demolish any madrassa in Shravasti
Lucknow: The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court has ordered that the Uttar Pradesh authorities would not take any coercive action against more than two dozen madrassas of Shravasti district. It also cautioned the state that it would not demolish any madrassas which have approached the court. The bench asked the state government to file its reply against the writ petitions till July 3. A bench of Justice Jaspreet Singh passed the order on the petitions moved by Madarssa Moinul Islam Qasmiya Samiti and 26 other madrassas individually in Shravasti. In April, the UP had govt launched a major drive against illegal encroachments in districts near the India-Nepal border, Bahraich, Shravasti, Siddharthnagar, Maharajganj, and Balrampur, demolishing hundreds of unauthorised structures, including unrecognised religious institutions. Illegal constructions were demolished in Shravasti and Bahraich, while in Siddharthnagar, 12 illegal structures were identified and notices issued. In Lakhimpur Kheri, a day-long survey found no illegal encroachments. These actions target long-standing illegal occupations of valuable border land, which the Yogi govt is determined to reclaim, the UP govt order said. In his order on Friday, Justice Singh observed, "It is now equally well settled that where any notice in the nature of a show cause is issued, it must be issued with sufficient particularity so that the noticee can respond specifically and can know what charge is to be replied." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The bench had already passed a similar order allowing a petition filed in connection with another such madrassa, Maktab Anwarul Uloom, Shravasti, on May 14.
