Here’s how analysts read the market pulse:<\/h2>\n

Domestic markets began the first full week of 2026 on a cautious footing, as Indian 10-year bond yields reflected expectations of elevated government borrowing, said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments, adding that on a positive note, December GST collections saw a rebound after November\u2019s dip, while the manufacturing PMI moderated but stayed firmly in expansionary territory.<\/p>\n

“Early Q3 trends in bank credit\/advances indicate strong momentum, supporting overall optimism. Globally, investors are awaiting key U.S. economic data and Fed guidance, while the BoJ reaffirmed its tightening stance. Looking ahead, Q3 earnings will dominate focus and guide near-term market trends, with sentiment remaining moderately positive,” said Nair.<\/p>\n
