News Topical, Digital Desk : Volatility in the Indian stock market (Stock Market Outlook) is expected to continue in the coming week. Several national and global issues may impact the market. Investors will be watching the start of December quarter results, key inflation data, and uncertainty surrounding US trade policy. Benchmark indices closed weak last week, extending their decline for five consecutive trading sessions. Investors appeared cautious ahead of corporate quarterly results. Continuous selling by foreign investors kept the market under pressure.

How will next week be?

Next week, investors will be watching companies' performance in the December quarter and whether economic data provides any relief to the market. December quarter results will begin with major IT companies, including Tata Consultancy Services, HCL Technologies, Infosys, Wipro, and Tech Mahindra, announcing their third-quarter results. The
coming week will also be crucial for economic data. During this period, data related to retail inflation, wholesale inflation, trade deficit, and foreign exchange reserves will be released in India. All these figures will help understand the country's economic situation and will shape expectations regarding interest rates and the government's economic policies.

US trade policy will be closely monitored

Investors will continue to closely monitor global developments, particularly those related to US trade policy. The US Supreme Court is scheduled to hear and deliver verdicts on several important cases, including one challenging the global tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.
A clear verdict or a surprising decision in these cases could impact stock markets worldwide, potentially impacting the Indian market as well.
