The market managed to eke out moderate gains amid volatility and rangebound trade in the week ended July 1, continuing the uptrend for yet another week. Tepid global cues and caution ahead of June quarter earnings weighed on the sentiment.
On July 1, a hike in the export tax on oil producers pulled down the oil & gas space as well as the market but later the other sectors participated in the recovery.
The Sensex closed 180 points higher at 52,908 and the Nifty50 rose 53 points to 15,752, supported by auto, FMCG, technology, and metal stocks. In the broader space, the Nifty Midcap 100 index gained half a percent and the smallcap 100 index rose a percent higher.
Consolidation is expected to continue, with all eyes on corporate earnings and global cues, including the release of the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting’s minutes, experts said.
"Participants will be closely eyeing its results for any change in the guidance amid the fear of a global slowdown. Besides, the performance of the global indices, crude movement and updates on the ongoing tussle between Russia-Ukraine will be in focus," Ajit Mishra, VP-Research at Religare Broking said
The June quarter corporate earnings season will be kicked off by Tata Consultancy Services, the country's largest software services exporter on July 8 followed by Avenue Supermarts, the operator of the supermarket chain of D-Mart stores, the next day. Hence, there could be some stock-specific action in the market.
