"The important event of today, the MPC’s monetary policy, is unlikely to impact the markets since no changes are expected in policy rates or stance. From the market perspective, the more important thing will be the US jobs data expected tonight. If the jobs data comes strong the market will react negatively discounting a rate hike by the Fed in the coming policy meeting. On the other hand, if the jobs data is weak, the market will rally discounting a pause by the Fed.Expected Q2 results will influence stock prices in the coming days. Financials, particularly banking, automobiles, hotels, real estate, cement and capital goods will do well. A possible surprise may come from IT in the form of higher order bookings. Even if the results are expectedly poor, the stocks may rebound on the back of better orders and commentary."
