Here's how analysts read the market pulse
"Indian equities opened the week on a firm footing, supported by better than estimated Q2 earnings and improving domestic cues. Domestic macro indicators provided an additional boost to sentiment with October passenger-vehicle sales growth reflecting healthy festive demand, while gross GST collections increased, reinforcing the resilience of domestic consumption and economic activity. Global cues were also supportive, with softer crude oil prices and renewed US-Iran diplomatic efforts helping ease concerns around energy costs and geopolitical risks. Foreign investors turning buyers as a global AI rotation also provided support to domestic equities. The rally extended to the broader market, with mid- and small-cap indices also advancing, indicating an improvement in market participation,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments.
Wall Street's main indexes rose on Monday as oil prices tumbled more than 6% on hopes of a US-Iran peace deal, with investors also bracing for Tuesday's midterm elections and another busy week of earnings.
