Analysts say Indian equities are likely to remain range-bound as the market shifts focus from the concluded Q1FY27 earnings season to global macro and geopolitical developments.

Domestic equities started the week on a fragile footing, with the Nifty closing 78 points lower at 24,287. Analysts say Indian equities are likely to remain range-bound as the market shifts focus from the concluded Q1FY27 earnings season to global macro and geopolitical developments. As conflicting US-Iran positions have clouded prospects of a near-term resolution, raising risks of elevated crude costs, the Strait of Hormuz and the trajectory of crude oil prices will remain the key near-term drivers. Investors will also track the US Federal Reserve’s July gathering minutes this week for cues on the global interest-rate outlook.
