The stock market may see a boom this week. The market will keep an eye on Trump tariff developments, corporate earnings, FII-DII flow. Factors that will determine the market movement this week… Corporate Earnings This week, more than 100 companies will release their March 2025 quarter i.e. fourth quarter (Q4FY25-January-March) results. Results of big companies like HCL Technologies, Tata Consumer Products, Axis Bank, Hindustan Unilever, SBI Life Insurance Company, Tech Mahindra and Maruti Suzuki will also come. Tariff Development The market will keep a close eye on the US trade talks with the European Union and China. The US has halted the implementation of tariff rates for all trade partners except China for 90 days. Last week, the US announced a 245% tariff on Chinese products, increasing the trade tariff war between the two countries. However, US President Donald Trump has spoken of reaching an agreement with both key partners. Meanwhile, investor sentiment in Indian equities rose last week on hopes that the US-China trade dispute could benefit India rather than harm it. IMF meeting Amid the weakening economic environment due to the trade war initiated by the US, the market will also be eyeing the meeting of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The current year’s spring meeting is scheduled to be held in Washington DC during April 21-26. According to reports, global economic issues including trade war and its impact on global growth as well as the progress in the work of the World Bank and the IMF will be discussed.
