After snapping three weeks of losing streak, domestic markets will closely monitor key factors including fresh updates on tariff negotiations, geopolitical tensions, and their impact on the movement of the US dollar and crude oil prices in the holiday truncated week. Next week, the market will witness a shortened trading week as it will remain closed on Friday, March 14, on account of Holi. On the macroeconomic front, the release of the consumer price index, CPI inflation data, and the index of industrial production, IIP, will be closely tracked.

Last week, the benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, registered the biggest weekly gain in 2025. The global sentiment improved following reports of a delay in US tariffs and the possibility of further negotiations, which helped stabilize financial markets. Additionally, a weaker dollar and a decline in crude oil prices further boosted investor confidence.
