US Inflation Data, Tech Earnings Drive Indian Market Outlook This Week

Indian equity benchmarks are poised for a volatile start to the week as global cues take centre stage, with US inflation data and mega-cap technology earnings likely to dictate foreign portfolio investor sentiment. According to a LiveMint report previewing the November 9-14 trading window, Wall Street is emerging from a sharp crash-and-recovery phase, leaving investors hyper-sensitive to the upcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) print and quarterly results from AI-exposed giants. The report also highlights that political developments following the US midterm elections have injected fresh uncertainty into the data-centre expansion narrative, a key driver of the global technology rally. With the Nifty 50 weekly expiry due on Tuesday, November 10, and the Bank Nifty monthly expiry on November 24, domestic derivatives positioning will amplify any directional move triggered by overseas data.
