Earnings, crude oil, rupee to drive stock market this week
Among major earnings this week are from ICICI Bank, Jindal Steel & Power, Canara Bank, Union Bank of India and Dena Bank. "Volatility is likely to remain this week too. For medium to long term, focus would also remain on state elections in H2 CY18 amidst earnings recovery, fiscal deficit, interest rate movement as well as demand revival ahead of general elections scheduled in May, 2019," said Teena Virmani, Vice President - Research at Kotak Securities
Macroeconomic data announcements -- industrial production for March and April inflation rate -- post market hours on Friday may also influence sentiment. Image source: IANS
