Investors are expected to assess whether the latest jobs data could influence expectations around the US central bank&#8217;s policy stance.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>&#8220;This week is expected to remain highly sensitive to global monetary policy, crude oil prices and geopolitical developments. Investors will closely monitor the impact of the stronger-than-expected US employment data on expectations regarding the Federal Reserve&#8217;s September policy decision,&#8221; Ajit Mishra \u2013 SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>The US inflation reading will now be closely watched for its potential impact on expectations around Federal Reserve policy and global market sentiment.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>&#8220;With the latest US jobs data coming in stronger-than-expected and pointing to resilient underlying economic momentum, attention now shifts to the upcoming US inflation data, which could prove critical in shaping expectations for Federal Reserve policy and global market sentiment.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>&#8220;The direction of Treasury yields and interest-rate expectations will remain closely intertwined with the inflation narrative, while elevated oil prices amid the unresolved Middle East conflict are likely to remain a persistent overhang on market sentiment,&#8221; Hariselvan Radhakrishnan, founder and CEO of HST Wealth, told PTI.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Crude surge adds to market pressure<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Oil prices have already emerged as a major source of pressure for global markets. <!-- -->Brent crude rose more than 8 per cent over the week, while WTI crude gained over 9 per cent, Ponmudi R, CEO &#8211; Enrich Money said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>The increase came as renewed US-Iran hostilities and concerns over the Strait of Hormuz lifted the geopolitical risk premium in global energy markets.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>The Strait of Hormuz will therefore remain an important factor for domestic investors, particularly as markets assess its implications for inflation, the external balance and corporate profitability.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>&#8220;Developments around the Strait of Hormuz will also remain a critical monitorable given their implications for India&#8217;s inflation, external balance and corporate profitability,&#8221; Mishra noted.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Alongside geopolitical developments and oil, foreign investor activity and broader global market trends are also expected to influence the direction of domestic equities.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Foreign flows, rupee and liquidity on watch<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>Domestic factors will remain on the radar as well. Investors will continue to track foreign institutional flows, movements in rupee, crude oil prices and domestic liquidity, Mishra said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>The combination of global monetary-policy expectations, oil prices and developments in the Middle East comes after another weak week for Indian equities.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>The Sensex lost 749.08 points, or 0.96 per cent, last week, while the Nifty declined 277.95 points, or 1.14 per cent.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/>&#8220;Indian equity markets remained volatile and under pressure during the week, with the Nifty-50 extending its losing streak to four consecutive weeks, the longest such stretch in five months, as intensifying US-Iran hostilities drove a sharp surge in crude oil prices and kept risk sentiment firmly on edge,&#8221; Ponmudi said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"43\"\/>With the new week beginning against this backdrop, global markets will be watching US monetary-policy expectations, crude prices and the evolving situation in Middle East. Global markets enter the week facing a familiar set of challenges, with the outlook hinging on US monetary-policy expectations, elevated crude oil prices and the evolving geopolitical situation in the Middle East, he added.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/business\/india-business\/crude-prices-fed-bets-and-more-whats-in-store-for-markets-this-week\/articleshow\/133833323.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The stock market is likely to remain sensitive to global developments, with the West Asia conflict, crude oil prices and US inflation data emerging as key factors for investors.
