Domestic equity markets ended the week with a fall, thanks to the sell-off triggered by the hawkish commentary from the Fed boss Jerome Powell. A flop show by index heavyweights in March quarters also hurt the sentiments. Yesha Shah, Head of Equity Research, Samco Securities | Market sentiment this week will primarily be driven by the quarterly results and the monthly expiry. As Covid cases are rising in some parts of the country, the pace of the spread will be closely watched. Globally, movement in treasury yields and the dollar index, coupled with developments in the Ukraine-Russia conflict, will influence market movement. While no other major domestic or global macro events are scheduled during the week, the factors highlighted above will keep the market choppy. Investors are advised to navigate prudently and avoid aggressive trades.
