Trade set-up for Monday:  Global cues, inflation data and FII flows top cues for stock markets next week

Indian stock markets are all set for the upcoming week. Global and domestic factors are giving contrasting signals. Analysts highlight that US Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision, inflation data and foreign institutional investments (FIIs) are the main catalysts for market movement.

FII flows the big factor

V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services said,”FIIs turning buyers in December after relentless selling in October and November has contributed to the recovery in the market from the November lows. FIIs have bought equity for Rs 14435 crores through exchanges till 13th December. The total buy figure including the exchange buying and buying through the ‘primary market and others category’ stood at Rs 22765 crores as on December 13 (NSDL).”

Ajit Mishra, SVP of Research at Religare Broking, pointed out that while a 25 basis point rate cut by the Fed is expected, its commentary on future policy will be critical.

Last week, the BSE benchmark rose 623.07 points (0.76 per cent), and the Nifty gained 90.5 points (0.36 per cent). Investors will now look for cues from global and domestic data, but with so many uncertainties,
