NEW DELHI, Aug 9: Last leg of quarterly earnings from blue-chip companies like SBI, ONGC and Coal India, macroeconomic data and progress of monsoon would decide the near-term trend of the market, say experts.

Moreover, movement of rupee against the dollar and investment trend by overseas investors would also have implications on next week’s trading.
Investors will also follow the progress on important bills like Land Acquisition Bill and GST in Parliament.
“Apart from the progress of monsoon and market reaction to the last leg of results that will be announced during the week, investors will also keep their focus on Parliament proceedings, which has been in a deadlock,” said Hitesh Agarwal, Head Research at Reliance Securities.
The Monsoon Session will conclude on August 13.
Consumer price index (CPI) data for July and industrial production data for June is scheduled to come out on Wednesday.
Inflation data based on wholesale price index (WPI) for July would be announced on Friday.
