Markets to stay volatile next week on Trump tariff decision: Analysts

Domestic macroeconomic data, monthly F&O expiry and global developments following US President Donald Trump's tariff hike after the Supreme Court verdict are likely to keep equity markets volatile next week, analysts said. Besides, the trading activity of foreign investors, developments between the US and Iran, movements in crude oil prices and global monetary signals will also guide market movement during the week, they added. "Markets are likely to remain volatile in the coming week, particularly with the monthly F&O expiry scheduled for February 24. On the domestic front, key data releases include GDP figures, government budget value, foreign exchange reserves, and infrastructure output (YoY)," Ajit Mishra, SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, said. He said investors will assess the implications around a fresh executive order by Trump which may influence trade dynamics, tariff structures, and global risk sentiment following the US Supreme Court verdict on tariffs.
