They will also watch results from companies, including several technology firms.

Analysts say the market may still be cautious.
Analysts expect Indian stocks to consolidate as investors weigh company earnings against global risks.
September CPI and wholesale price inflation data are expected to provide clues about domestic price pressures.

“Indian equities are expected to consolidate this week as markets balance improving domestic earnings momentum against elevated global risks. Brent crude remains above $100 per barrel and sustained FII selling continues to weigh on sentiment. After eight consecutive weeks of declines, the Nifty-50 gained 0.4 per cent last week, suggesting some stabilisation at lower levels, although the broader market is likely to remain selective.”

“Corporate earnings will increasingly influence sector-level performance as the September quarter results season gathers pace. TCS’s results helped trigger a rebound across IT stocks, supporting the broader indices on Friday. Crude oil remains the biggest macroeconomic risk. Uncertainty over Iran, the Strait of Hormuz and regional energy infrastructure continues to leave global supply vulnerable to disruption.”
