Investors will closely track global economic data, domestic macro indicators, and monsoon progress in the coming days, which could influence near-term sentiment. With PSU banking stocks maintaining strength and sectoral rotations continuing, stock-specific opportunities are likely to guide market direction in the sessions ahead.
