A report on Monday said the current week is poised to be crucial for global markets, including the Indian benchmark indices, as inflation, industrial activity, and employment data line up across the world’s largest economies.
Investors can expect increased volatility and sharper focus on central bank cues.
The Indian stock market is closed on April 14 because of Ambedkar Jayanti.
The week of April 12 to April 19, 2025, brings a host of significant economic data releases from major global economies, which are expected to guide market sentiment and influence monetary policy expectations.
“In India, the March Wholesale Price Index (WPI) will be released on April 15. This indicator will provide insights into wholesale inflation trends, which are crucial for understanding cost pressures at the production level and could have implications for the Reserve Bank of India’s future rate decisions,” said a note by Bajaj Broking Research.
Key data from the United States will begin with the March industrial Production (YoY) numbers, scheduled for release on April 16. This data will offer a snapshot of the strength of the manufacturing sector and overall industrial activity.
Following that, on April 17, the Initial Jobless Claims report will be closely watched by investors and policymakers alike. As a leading indicator of the labor market’s health, the note said any unexpected uptick in claims could signal potential softness in employment, influencing the Federal Reserve’s stance on interest rates.
China, too, will be in the spotlight on April 16 with a trio of critical economic indicators. The country will report its Q1 GDP growth (quarter-on-quarter), March industrial Production (YoY), and March unemployment Rate.
“Together, these figures will offer a comprehensive view of China’s post-pandemic economic recovery, domestic demand trends, and labor market conditions. Strong data from China could boost investor confidence globally, particularly in commodity and industrial sectors closely tied to Chinese demand,” said Bajaj Broking Research.
