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

Indian benchmarks ended sharply higher on Friday with the Sensex gaining 828 points to 77,569 and Nifty 50 advancing 244 points to 24,207, but the week ahead hinges on two key triggers. Q1 FY27 earnings season gathers pace with nearly 100 companies reporting, led by HCL Tech, Wipro, Groww, and Jio Financial Services, while TCS already delivered better-than-expected results. Meanwhile, US-Iran tensions remain elevated with a third round of US strikes on Iran and Strait of Hormuz disruptions, though oil eased with WTI near $71 and Brent around $76 on hopes of continued diplomatic talks.
