After a sharp rise last week, Indian markets are likely to witness profit-taking, at least in the early part of the fresh week. While global cues remain mixed, analysts say market lacks positive triggers to push the benchmark indices further.

The SGX Nifty at 15,760 (8 am IST) indicates a gap down opening of about 60 points for Nifty futures, which on Friday closed at 15,817.30. Most Asia-Pacific markets are closed on Monday, while Japan is up marginally. US stock futures indicate narrow movement.

Markets are expected to monitor the spread of monsoon in the coming weeks, daily new case count and easing of lockdown restrictions, said Shrikant Chouhan, Executive Vice President, Equity Technical Research, Kotak Securities. High inflation globally and firm crude oil prices are some concerns areas, he added.

However, FPIs have remained net buyers, month to date, to the tune of about ₹4,769 crore, underpinned by steady decline in Covid-19 cases in India and decent GST collections in April.

“We expect FPI flows to India, in the medium term, to remain strong as India is at the cusp of a growth revival path. Interestingly, low interest rates, better exports outlook and revival in global economy form a good combination for India’s economic revival. Domestic demand revival will also be supported by the upcoming festival season,” Shrikant Chouhan said.

In the coming week, India’s inflation data for May, which is expected to be elevated, will be the key economic driver in the domestic market. On the global front, the Fed’s monetary policy meeting will be in focus as the market awaits its stance on continuing stimulus measures, said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services.
