Market Outlook this week : In the absence of any major indicator on the domestic front, the direction of the stock market this week will be decided by the global trend. During a week with fewer trading sessions, the market will mainly take direction from the activities of foreign investors. Analysts have expressed this opinion. Apart from this, the price of Brent crude oil at the global level and the fluctuation of rupee against the dollar will also be important from the market point of view. The stock market will remain closed on Monday on the occasion of ‘Bakrid’.
Last week, the 30-share BSE Sensex gained 299.41 points or 0.39 per cent, while the National Stock Exchange’s Nifty rose 175.45 points or 0.75 per cent. The Sensex reached its all-time high of 77,145.46 points on June 13, while the Nifty touched a new peak of 23,490.40 points on June 14.
