The Indian equity markets enter the week starting May 25 amid a backdrop of sustained institutional activity and the final heavy leg of corporate earnings announcements.
Market participants are balancing domestic financial results against volatile global energy indices and pressure on the local currency.
Global Cues
Crude Oil: Brent crude prices moved upwards and are trading near the $105 per barrel mark as market participants grow skeptical about a diplomatic breakthrough in U.S.-Iran peace talks.
Currency: The rupee's strength is going to be crucial in the coming days as the Indian currency has been spiralling in the face of the US greenback's persistent strength, hovering around the 96.00 range amidst global bond market volatility.
