Indian markets witnessed a bearish tone last week with Sensex and Nifty 50 holding near 57,360 and 17,150-mark. The selloff was due to raging inflation, monetary policy tightening, higher commodity prices, and concerns of Russia’s Ukraine invasion. Going forward, domestic equities sentiments will be influenced by the developments in global markets this week (March 28 to April 01). The week will also mark the end of the last quarter of financial year FY22, while the first quarter of fiscal 2022-23 will commence.
On Friday last week, Sensex finished at 57,362.20 down by 233.48 points or 0.41%. Nifty 50 closed at 17,153 lower by 69.75 points or 0.40%. From March 21 – 25, the 30 scrip index has slumped over 0.5%, while the 50-scrip index took a massive beating and pulled back by a little over 1%.
This week, markets’ mood will swing as investors will gauge US job and inflation data, Eurozone inflation, crude oil prices, and development in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
