Investors are watching India’s July CPI and WPI numbers (Aug 12 & 14), along with US inflation reports; key triggers for rate outlooks. FPIs poured ₹12,921 cr into Indian equities in early August, showing confidence despite volatility. Earnings from HAL, Tata Motors, and Grasim will add momentum. The new Closing Auction Session (CAS) also tested markets last week; and passed the first stress test. Geopolitics, especially Strait of Hormuz talks, could swing oil; which直接影响印度股市. Watch for how global cues react to US data; Indian markets rarely move in isolation anymore. What’s quiet today can roar tomorrow; stay sharp.
