Other Key Factors to Watch
Apart from global tensions, several domestic and global indicators will influence the market. Investors will track HSBC Flash PMI data for manufacturing and services, which gives an early idea of business activity in the economy.
Foreign investor activity will also remain important. So far this month, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have pulled out around ₹88,180 crore from Indian markets.
