Globally, the outcome of the US Central Bank monetary policy meeting would also be closely watched.

This week, the Sensex and Nifty indices registered their longest weekly winning streak of 2025, led by steady foreign inflows and increasing optimism over a potential India-US trade deal.

Cumulatively, Sensex soared over 1,100 points or 1.5 per cent in the holiday-truncated week. The stock exchanges were closed on May 1 for Maharashtra Day.

Reliance Industries' strong Q4 performance and its becoming the first Indian company to cross Rs 10 lakh crore in total equity also supported the broader stock market indices.
