Mumbai, Jan 19 The market outlook for next week will be guided by the Donald Trump factor, Q3 FY25 results, foreign institution investors (FIIs), rupee vs dollar and crude oil prices.
Trump will be sworn in as the 47th US President on January 20, as investors keenly observe upcoming tariff announcements. The global market may remain volatile in the coming week, according to market watchers.
“Looking ahead, the incoming US president’s policies and comments will be keenly watched with a focus on tariffs. Higher inflation in Japan or tighter policy from BoJ will weigh on market sentiments,” according to experts.
Over 240 companies will announce their quarterly earnings next week. The market will keep an eye on the results of Adani Green Energy, HDFC Bank, One 97 Communication (Paytm), Zomato, IDBI Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, Tata Technologies, Bharat Petroleum Corporation and Indigo, among others
The primary market will see four new IPOs opening for subscription in the coming week, out of which three will be from the small and medium enterprises (SME) segment.
