Ahead of the Market: 10 Things That Will Decide How the Stock Market Moves on Tuesday

India’s benchmark indices closed in the red on Monday as widespread selling across banks, consumer companies and major sectors dragged down markets. Investor sentiment was cautious after the government confirmed two cases of human metapneumovirus (HMPV) in the states of Karnataka and Gujarat amid concerns about the virus outbreak in China.

The benchmark BSE Sensex closed 1258.12 points or 1.59 per cent lower at 77,964.99, while the Nifty 50 index closed 388.70 points or 1.62 per cent lower at 23,616.05.

Here’s how analysts read the market pulse.

Commenting on today’s action, Vinod Nair, head of research at Geojit Financial Services, said uncertainty surrounding the new US economic policy, the Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance on future interest rate cuts, the possibility of an upward revision in inflation in 2025, and a strong dollar are all negative for market sentiment. It’s having an impact.

“The primary catalyst for the plunge in the domestic market appears to be concerns about human metapneumovirus (HMPV). Additionally, the first Q3 consensus earnings estimates hint at the possibility of a gradual recovery in domestic corporate earnings, which could explain the underperformance of the domestic market compared to the global market due to premium valuations,” Nair added.

Wall Street’s main indexes opened higher on Monday, boosted by optimism about AI-driven technology stocks and reports that the incoming Trump administration may take a softer approach to tariffs than initially expected. The Dow Jones Industrial Average opened 103.4 points (0.24%) higher. At 42,835.52. The S&P 500 index closed at 5,982.81, up 40.3 points (0.68%), and the Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 19,851.99, up 230.3 points (1.17%).

“The market has trended towards a recent selling rally that reflects cautious investor sentiment and bulls cannot sustain the momentum,” said Satish Chandra Aluri, head of research at Lemonn Markets Desk. “Durable market recovery follows positive Q3 results and growth support measures in the Budget. Technically, Nifty 50 has breached key support levels and could test recent lows of 23,200-23,300 if selling continues. On the other hand, Nifty 50 may face resistance around 24,000,” Aluri added.
