The stock market has seen a sharp jump this week. The growth recorded in the market during the week has been the biggest weekly gain in the market since February 2021. There were many signals during the week which led to buying in the market. The ongoing buying by FIIs, expectations about the ongoing negotiations between the US and India regarding tariffs and the forecast of monsoon being above normal, all these factors are giving growth to the market. However, the results of the fourth quarter are yet to come out which can determine the direction of the market going forward.
