There may be a decline in the stock market in the Diwali week starting from 28th October. Quarterly results of companies, global and domestic economic data including geopolitical tension will decide the movement of the market.

3. Global Economic Data: America's Unemployment Rate

Data on GDP growth, PCE prices and real consumer spending for the July-September period will be available. The US economy had registered a growth of 3% in the April-June period this year. Apart from this, data on monthly unemployment rate will also come. It was 4.1% in September.

All these data are important ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee's interest rate decision on November 8. In the last meeting, the Federal Reserve had cut interest rates by 50 bps.

4. Domestic Economic Data: Data on Foreign Exchange Reserves

The final data of Manufacturing PMI for October will be released on November 1. Preliminary estimates during the month indicated that the HSBC India Manufacturing PMI rose to 57.4 for October from 56.5 in September.

Apart from this, investors will also keep an eye on the infrastructure output data on October 30 and fiscal deficit data on October 31. Data on foreign exchange reserves for the week ending October 25 will be released on November 1.

5. Geopolitical Tension: Israel's attack on Iran

Israel retaliated in response to Iran's attacks in the early hours of Saturday, 25 days later. According to the New York Times, 20 targets were attacked in 3 hours. These include missile factories and military bases. An attack also took place near Tehran's 'Imam Khomeini International Airport'. The attacks began at 2:15 a.m. local time and continued until 5 a.m.

The effect of these attacks on Iran can be seen on oil prices. Rising crude oil prices typically increase transportation expenses, and potentially weaken corporate earnings. Its negative impact can be seen on the stock market. Last week, the price of Brent crude increased by 4% to $ 76.05 per barrel. A week before that, prices had fallen 7.6%.
