Mustafa Nadeem, CEO, Epic Research said, “A key trigger for the market will be GST meet and another round of cuts in tax rates on many of the items. It has been the point of discussion on the street and further may give some direction as it happens just a month before the Interim Budget.”

It is being known that, the GST council will be meeting this week on January 10. As per the market buzz, the council will once again bring in some revival for SMEs and home buyers. What is being expected is that, the council may decide on rates on under-construction flats, houses and hiking exemption threshold for SMEs. Further, the council may also look into trim down rates in order to drive consumption spending. 

Further, Nadeem explained that even RBI meet this week with foreign investors as the decline in corporate bonds haunts the domestic corporate sentiments. It comes after a month when RBI mandated to limit FPI exposure below 50% in single corporate bond and 20% of exposure of portfolio in any single group. Nadeem further added, “We have TCS lined up with earnings along with Infosys, Indus Ind. So overall a lot of big names will be driving the cues for its sector and will be watched critically.”

Considering above, Nadeem said, “It will be a volatile week but certainly where we may see some Directional move.”
