Stocks To Watch Next Week (July 13-17): HDFC Bank, Dabur, Tata Steel, Coal India Among Key Names to Track

Next week is going to be quite eventful in the stock market as the earning season is in full swing. Many large-cap results due through the week, stock-specific action is expected to dominate over broader index movement.

At the end of Friday's trading session, the BSE Sensex settled at 77,569.39, up 827.57 points or 1.08%, while the Nifty 50 closed at 24,206.90, gaining 244.10 points or 1.02%. Over the two consecutive sessions, the Sensex rallied 1.35%, and the Nifty climbed 1.33%. Among sectors, the Realty index emerged as the top performer, rallying over 5%, followed by the Nifty IT index, which gained around 2%. On the other hand, the FMCG sector was the biggest laggard, declining more than 1.5% due to concerns over uneven monsoon progress and rising crude oil prices.

"Looking ahead, the spotlight will remain firmly on the Q1 earnings season. Good results from TCS and Indian Bank have already boosted sentiment in the IT and banking sectors. These earnings are likely to play a significant role in shaping sector-specific as well as broader market sentiment," said Santosh Meena, Head of Research at swastika investmart.

"On the macroeconomic front, inflation data will remain an important trigger. India's Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation will be released on Monday, followed by the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) on Tuesday," he further added,
