News Topical, Digital Desk : The Indian stock market, the Sensex and Nifty 50, fell on Friday after three consecutive days of gains, citing profit booking and weak global cues. The Sensex closed at 82,626.23, a decline of 388 points, or 0.47 percent, while the Nifty 50 fell 97 points, or 0.38 percent, to close at 25,327.05. Let's explore four key factors to watch for in the stock market next week.
H-1B Visa Fee Hike:
One of the triggers that could impact the market in the coming week is the increase in H-1B visa fees. US President Donald Trump has imposed a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas, which could impact the tech sector. This fee will come into effect from September 21, 2025. However, the White House has clarified that this fee will only apply to new applicants. This means that this fee will only affect new applicants. All eyes will be on IT stocks after the stock market opens on Monday. GST 2.0 will be implemented from September 22. With two new GST slabs, most goods will be subject to a GST rate of 5% or 18%. Those looking to purchase new cars or other goods will now have to pay lower taxes. Several companies, including Tata Motors and Maruti Suzuki, have decided to pass on the benefits of the new GST rates to their customers. India-US Trade Talks: India-US trade talks will also be important for the market. Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal will be visiting the US, where he will hold trade talks on September 22nd. Chief Negotiator Rajesh Aggarwal will also be part of the team and will meet with US officials in New York. The coming week will also be crucial for the Indian stock market from a direct investor perspective. The activities of foreign and domestic institutional investors (FIIs and DIIs) may also impact the market next week. On September 19th, FIIs/FPIs purchased Indian stocks worth a net ₹390 crore, while DIIs purchased shares worth a total of ₹2105 crore.
