stock market next week The Indian stock market ended last week on a positive note in all four trading sessions, driven by ‘mildly bullish’ speculations by the US Fed on India’s inflation hitting a 5-month low and a hike in interest rates. The NSE Nifty closed in the green for the seventh consecutive week, rising from a low of 15,183 to touch 17,698. On a weekly basis, the Nifty 50 index closed 1.73 per cent higher, while the BSE Sensex closed at 58,387 with a weekly gain of 1.42 per cent.
Commenting on the stock market outlook for the short term, Anuj Gupta, Vice President of Research at IIFL Securities said, “India’s retail inflation, which is measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), declined to a 5-month low of 6.71 per cent in the month of July, from 7.01 per cent in June. Separately, India’s factory output, measured through the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), saw a rise of 12.3 per cent in June, showed two separate data released by the Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation (MoSPI) on Friday. Lower crude oil prices and recovery in commodity prices is a major contributor to the recovery.”
Terming this as a positive sign for the Indian stock market, Anuj Gupta said, “We are expecting the Sensex to test the level of 60000 to 61000 and Nifty may test the level of 18000 to 18500. The index may move further.”
“Domestic markets maintained their northward movement during the week and closed in the green for the fourth consecutive week. Nifty spot reclaimed 17700 mark after April 2022. Sentiment remained upbeat mainly on the back of positive global cues. Improvement in the US markets with FIIs becoming buyers in the cash segment again forced the bulls to dominate,” said Mehul Kothari, AVP – Technical Research at Anand Rathi.

1]Dollar Index: “After sliding below the level of 105, the dollar index has formed a strong base at the level of 104.50.
