Indian equities are witnessing a short-term relief, as de-escalation in West Asia and the resultant fall in crude oil prices provided interim support. Going ahead, geopolitical developments and direction in crude oil prices are likely to be key drivers in the near term. Meanwhile, the Q1FY27 earnings season is gathering pace and is expected to drive stock-specific action, alongside increased activity in the primary market. Investors will closely monitor the US Federal Reserve's policy decision on Wednesday, followed by the Federal Reserve Chair's commentary for cues on the future interest rate path. The Nifty 50 snapped its five-session losing streak and ended Monday 1% higher at 23,996, supported by a 11% decline in Brent crude oil prices (88/bbl), firm global cues and broad-based buying in IT stocks. Investor sentiment also improved on expectations that the US Federal Reserve will keep policy rates unchanged. The rupee appreciated 0.6% to around ?96/US$, while easing market uncertainty pushed the India VIX lower by 10%. Broader markets also participated in the recovery, with the Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 advancing 1.1% and 1.3%, respectively. Sectorally, Media, IT and Realty outperformed, whereas Oil & Gas was the only sector to closing flat. On the corporate front, investors will closely track earnings from Varun Beverages, Tata Capital, Suzlon Energy and Supreme Industries, among others, on Tuesday for further sector-specific cues. Primary market activity is also expected to remain robust, with Lohia Corp, Indo-MIM and Xtranet Technologies scheduled to list this week, representing a combined issue size of Rs 5,079 crore. Meanwhile, Manipal Health Enterprises, Juniper Green Energy and MV Electrosystems are set to open for subscription, with a combined issue size of Rs 11,365 crore.
