At the close, the Nifty 50 was at 17,722.30 up by 0.56%

Over the course of the last six sessions, the Nifty has demonstrated an increase of almost 4%. Analysts suggest that the near-term market trigger will be the corporate earnings, which are slated to commence on Tuesday.
Despite facing multiple challenges, the domestic equity indices demonstrated resilience and maintained a positive outlook, primarily driven by the banking and automobile sectors due to the anticipation of strong quarterly earnings following robust business updates. The upcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data, which is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, is expected to remain below the upper tolerance level of 6% set by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). In the United States, inflation is predicted to decline further from its current level of 6%. The forthcoming US inflation data, in addition to the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes, are anticipated to exert a significant impact on the global market trend.
During the trading session, the Nifty index displayed a volatile performance as traders awaited the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data scheduled for April 12. Despite this, the index has managed to sustain above the critical moving average and has maintained its position above the crucial support level of 17,500.
