Besides, wholesale price inflation (WPI) and consumer price inflation (CPI) data for October this week are likely to steer trading sentiment.

“Going ahead, US rate hike and quarterly results are the other triggers which will impact markets,” said Dipen Shah, Senior Vice President and Head PCG Research, Kotak Securities.
September quarter results from Aurobindo Pharma, Tata Motors and GAIL would also influence trading.

“…At the same time, back home the shortage of money in the system will impact the spending pattern of the consumers in the short term,” said Jimeet Modi, CEO, SAMCO Securities.
Over the last week, the BSE Sensex fell by 455.33 points to 26,818.82. (PTI)
