What the reporting says

Sensex and Nifty ended the week higher, gaining up to 0.5%, even as broader markets declined amid crude oil prices above $117 a barrel. The report says investors will watch oil prices, foreign institutional investor buying, global cues and domestic trends for Monday’s direction, after FIIs turned net buyers following a 10-week selling streak. The immediate consequence is a cautiously positive market tone; what happens next depends on those follow-through signals.

Why it matters

Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty ended the week in the green, with gains of up to 0.5%, while broader markets weakened as crude oil rose above $117 a barrel. The report also says FIIs turned net buyers after 10 weeks of selling, which helped sentiment. The next market direction is still uncertain and will depend on oil, foreign flows, and global cues.
