Indian markets face a volatile week as Fed policy, Middle East tensions and crude prices shape sentiment. Investors will also track June IIP data and Q1 results from consumer-facing and conglomerate companies including ITC, HUL, M&M, Maruti and Asian Paints.

Why this matters

The earnings focus follows “ITC joins BSE’s 52-week-high list as Future Retail hits a fresh low” and aligns with a broader Q1FY27 reporting slate featuring HUL, Dabur and Swiggy.

Retail-company signals are accelerating, up 1,120,100% QoQ.
