Indian Stock Market Anticipates Tariff Announcements, Economic Data

The Indian stock market concluded the final week of fiscal year 2024-25 positively, with the Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex showing gains due to renewed foreign institutional investment interest and an optimistic outlook for an interest rate cut by the RBI. However, caution prevailed ahead of expected tariff announcements from the Trump administration, which could impact market sentiment. As the new fiscal year 2025-26 begins, investors are poised to monitor key triggers such as tariff developments, auto sales figures, and macroeconomic data. Jim Cramer highlighted the potential impact of upcoming inflation metrics and tariff announcements on Wall Street, advising investors on portfolio management amid ongoing market volatility. Overall, the market is expected to consolidate with a positive bias, focusing on corporate earnings and economic indicators.
