As per V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, the Nifty will be influenced by the outcome of the ECB and Fed meetings due on 21st and 27th July respectively. 
"The Fed is likely to raise the rate by 75 bp and ECB, perhaps, by 50 bp, however, more important than the rate hikes, would be commentary on the trajectory of inflation and economic growth," he said
