Q1 results FY27 to US-Iran war: Top five triggers that may dictate the Indian stock market this week

The Indian stock market ended sharply higher on Friday with the Sensex gaining 828 points and Nifty 50 rising 244 points, but the week ahead will be shaped by two key triggers: the Q1 FY27 earnings season, with TCS posting better-than-expected results and HCL Tech scheduled to report on Monday alongside Wipro and Jio Financial Services, and escalating US-Iran geopolitical tensions following a third round of US strikes and Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Crude oil prices declined to around 71 dollars per barrel for WTI on hopes of continued diplomatic talks, while investors remain cautious about further escalation that could heighten volatility and impact global risk sentiment.
