GEOPOLITICAL events, macroeconomic data and quarterly earnings of corporates would guide the stock market in a holiday shortened week ahead analysts said.
Stock markets will remain closed on Wednesday for Ram Navami. "This week promises to be crucial for the market as fresh worries about a potential conflict be- tween Iran and Israel emerge. Any significant escalation in tensions could trigger panic selling and volatility in global equity markets. The market will also be closely monitoring the movement of crude oil prices, which are often impacted by geopolitical events," said Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart Ltd.
