Indian stock market: The domestic equity market is expected to open in green amid mixed global cues.

US stocks ended higher on bets that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in September.

Traders are betting on a 94% chance of a rate cut by September, up from 78% a week ago, according to CME Group’s FedWatch.

On Friday, the Indian stock market benchmark indices ended higher after hitting fresh all-time highs during the session led by gains in select IT and banking heavyweights.

The Sensex rallied 622.00 points, or 0.78%, to close at 80,519.34, while the Nifty 50 settled 186.20 points, or 0.77%, higher at 24,502.15.

“Nifty after seeing profit booking during the week made a comeback on the back of a positive start to Q1 earnings from IT major TCS lifting sentiments across the street. We expect this momentum to continue supported by the expectation of healthy quarterly results, hope of a rate cut, and a pre-budget rally,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head - Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd.

This week, investors will keenly watch out for any Union Budget-related or government policy announcements, the next set of Q1 results, domestic and global macroeconomic data, corporate announcements, flow of foreign funds, trends in crude oil prices, and other key global cues that will influence the market movement.
