Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart Ltd, said global cues, macro numbers, and the last batch of earnings will dictate the market direction in a holiday-truncated week. 

This week market will deal with the last batch of Q1 earnings where the Market will react to SBI, HPCL and BPCL results on Monday, while Adani Ports, Bharti Airtel, Powergrid, Coal India, Eicher Motors, Hindalco, Grasim, Heromotocorp, LIC, ONGC, Bata India and Aurobindo pharma will be other prominent earnings next week, he said.  

"Global cues will be important as geopolitical concerns are rising whereas both domestic and global macro numbers will play an important role. India will announce its CPI and IIP numbers on 12th August while US inflation numbers are scheduled on 10th August," Meena added.
