The week is shortened by the Dussehra holiday on Tuesday 20 Oct. The top factors are the Jio Platforms issue, crude oil near $108, FII selling for a ninth week, Q2 earnings, US inflation and Fed odds, the rupee and the IDBI Bank sale.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">The stock market this week has seven main factors: the Jio Platforms issue on 21 to 23 October, crude oil volatility near $108 to $110 a barrel, FII selling, Q2 earnings from Bajaj Finance to Infosys, US inflation and Fed rate hike odds, the rupee and RBI policy, and deal news such as the IDBI Bank sale. Markets are shut on Tuesday 20 October, so there are four trading days. Experts quoted expect consolidation with intermittent volatility, with HDFC Securities seeing support at 22,800 and a possible move to 23,500 to 23,600 on a breakout above 23,100 to 23,200. The stock market this week is therefore a test of whether last week&#8217;s rally can hold against crude, foreign selling and heavy supply.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Last week&#8217;s rally ahead of the stock market this week was led by IT stocks. Nifty IT rose 11.7%, with Tech Mahindra up 18%, TCS up 14%, Infosys up 13.5% and HCLTech up 13.4%, while Nestle India fell 5%, Max Healthcare 4.3% and IndiGo 3%. The rupee also gained about 2%, its best week in seven months.<\/p>\n<p>This guide covers the seven factors for the stock market this week, the earnings calendar, the technical levels analysts give and the risks.
