The market outlook for next week will be guided by several domestic and international factors such as India’s retail inflation data, FIIs activities, dollar to Rupee activity and Trump tariff policy. 

India’s retail and wholesale inflation data will be released on Wednesday, and the stock market will be closed on Friday on account of Holi.

Last week, the stock market witnessed sharp gains. After three consecutive weeks of decline, Nifty rose by about 2% to 22,552.50, and the Sensex rose by 1.55% to 74,332.58.

Between the March 3 - 7 trading sessions, buying was seen in smallcap and midcap stocks. During this period, the Nifty Midcap 100 index surged 2.66%, and the Nifty Smallcap 100 index rallied 5.47%.

Among the sectoral indices, metal, energy, media and PSE performers of the week. Nifty Metal surged by 8.61%, Nifty Media railed 7.36%, Nifty PSE increased by 7.36%, and Nifty Energy gave a return of 5.90%.

Meanwhile, a sharp decline in the US dollar index, lower crude oil prices, and strength in the Indian Rupee against the greenback provided further support to equities.

On the institutional front, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) recorded net outflows of ₹15,501 crore in the cash segment, whereas Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) injected ₹20,950 crore, offering stability to the market.
