Live: Can Nifty march to 25,000 this week? Inflation data, US-India trade ties in focus | Opening Bell

The Nifty staged a recovery in mid-session during the last trading day but eventually ended near 24,700, clocking a modest one percent weekly gain. Despite upbeat GDP data and GST-related announcements, follow-through buying failed to materialise, capping the upside. Sectorally, Auto, Metal, and Media stocks emerged as top gainers, while IT, FMCG, and Realty stocks dragged. Broader markets, however, stayed largely flat. Looking ahead, key triggers this week include India’s CPI data on September 12, alongside crucial global cues from US CPI, PPI and jobless data that will shape Federal Reserve’s policy outcome. Adding to the busy calendar, as many as nine IPOs are set to hit the market across mainboard and SME segments, keeping investor sentiment in focus. This morning, global cues were mixed. US markets ended Friday's session lower as investors reacted to weak jobs data, while Asian markets started the day largely higher.
