Below the Quote on Weekly Market Outlook and Week Ahead by Vinit Bolinjkar, Head of Research, Ventura

“Markets head into a pivotal week with two major triggers back-to-back: the RBI's October policy verdict (October 5-7) and the start of Q2 earnings season led by TCS on October 8. After eight consecutive weeks of decline — the longest losing streak in 25 years — elevated US bond yields and persistent FII selling remain the dominant overhang. Expect continued volatility, with the rupee, crude oil prices, and the RBI's rate stance as key swing factors. Rate-sensitive sectors — banks, auto, and realty — will be in sharp focus around the policy outcome, while IT stocks will trade on TCS's commentary around deal momentum and AI-led pricing pressure. Select pockets like PSU banks, defense, and renewables may continue to see relative resilience. Overall, a stock-specific, news-driven market is likely, with broader direction hinging on how global bond yields and RBI's tone evolve through the week.”
