Dalal Street Week ahead | 10 key factors that will keep traders busy this week
The benchmark indices shed around 2.5 percent over the week. The Sensex plunged 1,525 points, or 2.73 percent, to 54,334, and the Nifty50 declined 413 points,. (2.48 percent). Losses were led by auto, banking & financials and consumption stocks.
The coming week is expected to favour bears again, given the elevated volatility unless the Ukraine situation subsides. The election results on March 10 could also influence the market’s direction. Investors will be keeping a careful eye on China’s and the United States’ inflation numbers.
Here are 10 key factors that will keep traders busy next week:
Ukraine-Russia War:
Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that Ukrainian statehood was in jeopardy. A promised ceasefire in the besieged port city of Mariupol collapsed amid scenes of terror. Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy has asked for weapons from western countries and has sought more sanctions against Moscow.
The United States has asked its citizens to leave Russia immediately over fears of harassment by Russian security officials. Around 1.5 million people have fled Ukraine, triggering the worst refugee crisis of the century. Thousands of Indians, most of them students, have left the war-torn country and are being brought home.
Oil price :
Worries over rising oil prices raised risks of inflation and worries for corporate earnings. India’s trade deficit could widen as it imports 80-85 percent of its oil requirement.
Global data points :
US and China’s inflation numbers for February will be closely watched by global investors. In January, US inflation hit a 40-year high of 7.5 percent, favouring expectations of more rate hikes in coming quarters.
Relentless Selling Pressure by FIIs :
Domestic institutional investors offset FII outflow to a great extent. FIIs have sold more than Rs 2 lakh crore worth of shares since October 2021. Experts expect the selling to remain intense and feel the market may get support from DIIs, though the upside is feeling pressure from FIIs.
Economic Data :
Economic and financial data for February will be released on March 3, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has said in its latest bulletin. The bank loan and deposit growth for fortnight ended February 25, as well as foreign exchange reserves data for the week ended March 4 will also be published.
Technical View :
The Nifty has moved closer to its crucial support of 16,130 on March 4. The index has formed a bearish candle, which resembles the Spinning Top pattern. Trend seems to be in favour of the bears with consolidation, says analyst Nagaraj Shetti.
F&O Cues :
The Nifty50 could see a wider trading range of 15,800 to 16,700 in the coming sessions. Maximum Call open interest was seen at 17,000 strike followed by 16,.700 and 16,800 strikes. The maximum Put open interest saw at 16,300 strike then 16,200 and 15,500 strikes.
The fear index :
India VIX, the fear index, climbed above the 30-mark again before settling at 27.95 on March 4. Volatility has to fall below the 20-mark for stability and to bring the bulls back on street.
Corporate action:
Moneycontrol.com advises users to check with certified experts before taking any investment decisions. The views and investment tips expressed by experts are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of the website or its management.
Sharekhan’s research report on NMDC :
NMDC has taken cumulative price hikes of 14%/12% or Rs. 700/Rs. 500 per tonne for iron ore lump/fines over Jan-Feb 2022. Domestic iron ore price is at steep discount of 43% to international iron prices.

Tributes continue to pour in for Ratan Tata, with Virat Kohli and Jay Shah taking to their social media accounts to bid farewell to the industrialist.
Former Indian captain and batting legend Virat Kohli paid a touching tribute to Ratan Tata, the legendary business tycoon, who passed away on Wednesday night. Tata, a Padma Vibhushan recipient, was undergoing treatment in intensive care since Monday but breathed his last in Mumbai, leaving a profound impact on many across the nation.
Kohli expressed his condolences through his Instagram account on Thursday morning, sharing a heartfelt message along with a photo of the late industrialist.
Tata’s contribution to business, society, and philanthropy has been widely acknowledged, and his passing marks the end of an era.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary, Jay Shah, also conveyed his sorrow, stating, “Deeply saddened by the loss of Shri Ratan Tata Ji. His leadership, integrity, and dedication to society set a remarkable standard for legacy. My heartfelt condolences to his loved ones. Rest in peace, Sir.” Shah’s words reflect the collective grief of a nation that has long admired Tata’s contributions to the country.
BCCI’s tribute
Additionally, the BCCI issued a statement about his demise.
“The BCCI expresses its deepest sorrow and joins the nation in mourning the passing of Shri Ratan Tata ji. His invaluable contributions across diverse fields have been instrumental in shaping India’s growth and success story.
His extraordinary legacy, founded on the principles of passion, empathy, visionary leadership, innovation, and excellence, will continue to inspire and guide future generations for years to come,” the statement read.
Ratan Tata, born on December 28, 1937, in Mumbai, embarked on his journey with the Tata Group in 1962 as a young executive. Over the decades, he transformed the group into a global conglomerate. His work was acknowledged with India’s second-highest civilian honour, the Padma Vibhushan, in 2008, and he received numerous accolades, including honorary doctorates from prestigious institutions in India and abroad.
Tata is survived by his family, including brothers and sisters Simone Tata, Jimmy Tata, Noel Tata, Aloo Tata, Shireen Jejeebhoy, Deanne Jejeebhoy, Leah Tata, Maya Tata, Neville Tata, Manasi Tata, Jamset Tata, Tiana Tata, and others, as mentioned in a family statement.
