Indian equities posted their best weekly rise since April, with the Nifty 50 up 2.7% driven by IT earnings, a stronger rupee and domestic investor support.
The Nifty 50 rose 1.3% to 22,520.45 on Friday, but analysts warn that high crude prices, continued foreign outflows and upcoming data could curb the rally.
Foreign investors sold a net Rs 35,861 crore of Indian equities in September, with financial services experiencing the deepest outflow in the second half of the month.
India's equity indices fell for the eighth straight week, the longest streak in a quarter‑century, while the rupee slipped 50 paise to 96.32 per dollar.
Analysts cite falling oil prices, new U.S. sanctions on Russia, Iran‑related shipping disruptions and mixed foreign investor flows as the main forces that will steer the Nifty on Monday.
GIFT Nifty slipped 33 points to 24,018, pointing to a negative opening on Dalal Street as global markets reacted to rising oil prices and heightened geopolitical tension.
