Anil Ambani’s Reliance Group Forms Centre To Push 2030 Growth Strategy

In a week shortened by the holiday on November 20 for the Maharashtra assembly elections, Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) trading activity and global economic trends will play a critical role in driving the direction of India’s equity markets, according to analysts.

With Maharashtra assembly elections taking place on November 20 and results set to be announced on November 23, the Indian stock market will remain closed on Wednesday, November 20, in observance of the elections. Experts predict that FII movements—the buying and selling decisions of foreign investors—along with key global economic indicators, will dominate market sentiment in the short term.

Key Global Indicators to Watch

As the markets reopen post-election, several global factors are expected to dictate market movement. These include:

• US bond yields: Rising bond yields in the US have been a concern for emerging markets like India, as they affect investor sentiment.
• US Dollar performance: A stronger dollar could impact the flow of capital into Indian equities.
• Global economic data: Key indicators such as US unemployment claims, flash manufacturing and services PMI data, and Japan’s inflation figures are likely to influence market direction.
• Oil prices: The price movement of Brent crude will also remain a key factor for investors to monitor, as it impacts inflation and input costs.

Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst at Swastika Investmart Ltd, emphasized that the movements of FIIs and these global factors will remain crucial in shaping Indian stock market trends, particularly in the near term.
