Macro Drivers and Key Data Watch
The current market enthusiasm is rooted in a standout economic performance, though caution remains due to Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) activity.
- GDP Boost: A major sentiment boost came from the announcement that India’s Q2 FY26 GDP growth surged to 8.2 percent. This robust figure was fuelled by resilient consumption trends and broad-based sectoral momentum, signalling fundamental economic strength.
- FII Selling: Despite the strong domestic data, a ceiling on excessive upside remains as FIIs were net sellers on Friday, offloading equities worth ₹3,659 crore. This serves as a reminder that global risk appetite towards Indian assets is still uneven.
- Data Watch: The street will closely monitor the release of November auto sales data today, which will be a crucial indicator for sectoral leadership. Additionally, all eyes are on today’s release of November GST collection figures, which will serve as a key macro pulse-check on consumption, economic momentum, and festive-season demand strength.
