The equity market trends for the upcoming week are expected to be influenced by a variety of factors, including quarterly earnings reports from key companies, global trends, prices, geopolitical situations like the Hamas-Israel conflict, and decisions by the European Central Bank on interest rates. Market participants, including foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and domestic institutional investors (DIIs), will closely monitor the movement of the rupee against the dollar and crude oil prices during this results season.

These include Axis Bank, Tech Mahindra, Bajaj Finserv, Bajaj Holding & Investment, Cipla, Reliance Industries, Dr. Reddy’s, Maruti, PNB Housing, Mahindra Logistics, Torrent Pharmaceuticals, Netripples Software Ltd, Ujaas Energy Limited, and Jubilant Foodworks.

Other significant companies releasing results later in the week include Vodafone (NASDAQ:) Idea and Punjab National Bank on Thursday; Maruti Suzuki India, Reliance Industries, Bharat Petroleum Corporation on Friday; and NTPC, IDFC First Bank (NASDAQ:), AU Small Finance Bank on Saturday. Additionally, Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services will also announce their results along with Tamilnad Mercantile Bank (NASDAQ:) and Macrotech Developers.

The markets will remain closed on Dussehra due to the holiday. The fragility of global markets is due to the rising US bond yield, global economic uncertainty, and geopolitical situations.
