For Indian stock market investors, the upcoming week may be pivotal. The market saw a robust comeback on Monday, reversing its earlier dip. Both the Sensex and Nifty closed at higher prices as a result of strong buying in the banking and metals sectors. The Nifty increased by almost 57 points to close at 24,894, while the Sensex gained almost 223 points to surpass 81,200. Following the previous sell-off, the market is breathing easier thanks to this rally.

The Indian Stock Market is focused on the Q2 results

With the start of the Indian stock market quarterly results season, all eyes are on the titans of the IT industry. Investor interest will be piqued when Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) releases its Q2 FY26 earnings on October 9. After a muted performance in the first quarter due to uncertainties around tariffs, the IT sector is anticipated to record negative second-quarter results. Additionally, the industry has been under additional strain due to the recent hike in H1B visa fees in the US, which has made the overall situation seem fairly difficult.

IPO Market to Heat Up

IPO activity in the primary market is expected to remain robust next week. Investors are eyeing large public issues like Tata Capital and LG Electronics, which are scheduled to open for subscription next week. The IPO Indian Stock Market has seen strong participation in recent months, and investors are hopeful that upcoming issues may also deliver strong listing gains. This is likely to increase liquidity in the market and boost investor sentiment.

International Attention to FOMC Minutes

This week is also planned for a significant worldwide event. The minutes of the October 8th meeting of the US Federal Reserve will be made public. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) recently lowered its benchmark interest rate to a range of 4% to 4.25% during its September 16–17 meeting. This was 2025’s first rate cut. The Fed had previously held interest rates steady for nine months in a row. Since they have the potential to indirectly affect both the direction of the Indian Stock Market and global capital flows, the signals given in these minutes will be very important to the market.

Market Confidence Is Increased by Sectoral Performance

Strong investor interest in equities like Tata Steel, Hindalco, and JSW Steel propelled Monday’s market bounce. Strong increases were also made by private banks like Axis Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank. Strong purchasing was also observed in PSU banks, which improved the mood of the market as a whole.
