After four straight weeks of losses, the Indian stock market continues to feel the impact of foreign institutional investor (FII) selling and weak corporate earnings, factors experts say will likely shape market sentiment in the coming week.
According to market watchers, several key events will unfold that could add volatility. Quarterly results from companies such as Bharti Airtel, Cipla, Dabur, and Larsen & Toubro (L&T) are anticipated, and investors are keen to see if these results can offer any boost to market confidence. Furthermore, the upcoming October derivatives expiry and the release of new auto sales data as November begins could provide additional direction.
