Sindujaa D N
The past week brought positive momentum to the domestic stock market, witnessing a notable rebound after a correction the previous week. Both major indices, BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty, recorded gains of over 1 percent each during the week, signalling a comeback. On the last day of the week, february 16, the Sensex rose by 376.76 points (0.52 percent), closing at 72,426.64 points. 

Nifty also saw a gain of 129.95 points (0.59 percent), closing at 22,040.70 points. Throughout the week, the Sensex strengthened by 831.15 points (1.16 percent), and Nifty recorded a rise of over 1.15 percent. Various sectors contributed to the market rally, with midcaps closing with gains of around 1 percent, while the small cap index remained relatively stable. Auto, IT, energy, and banking sectors played a significant role in leading the market during the week.


As the new week unfolds, several factors may influence the market. The launch of two mainboard and three SME IPOs, along with the listing of seven new shares, will be noteworthy. Quarterly results season is slowing down, with most companies having already released their results. Investors will closely monitor Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) and Domestic Institutional Investors (DII) activities, with FPIs making purchases exceeding Rs 6,000 crore and DIIs making purchases worth Rs 8,700 crore during the past week.


Externally, the minutes of the recent meeting of the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee in the United States, along with the reopening of many Asian markets, including China, after New Year holidays, may impact the market. Additionally, movements in the dollar, rupee, and crude oil prices are expected to influence stock market dynamics.
