Experts anticipate that the stock market next week will be influenced by escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, rising crude oil prices, foreign institutional investor (FII) activity, and India’s Q2 GDP data. These factors are expected to shape investor sentiment and market movements.
Last week, Indian equity markets broke their two-week losing streak, closing on a high note. Despite early volatility due to geopolitical tensions, bullish momentum on Friday—fueled by exit polls predicting an NDA alliance victory in the Maharashtra elections—helped stabilize the market.

With geopolitical tensions and crude oil prices adding uncertainty, markets may experience volatility. Additionally, Q2 GDP data and FII trends will play a significant role in determining the trajectory of Indian equity indices. Investors advise to monitor these developments closely and trade cautiously.
