Top 5 Triggers for Indian Stock Market This Week (Oct 6–10, 2025): Q2 Earnings, Gold, IPOs and More

As the Indian stock market prepares for the week ahead, several key triggers are likely to influence trading activity. Here’s a closer look at what market participants should watch.

Q2 FY26 Earnings

The September quarter results for Indian IT companies will kick off this week, with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) announcing its numbers on October 9.

Following a soft Q1 performance affected by tariff related uncertainties, IT sector earnings for Q2 are expected to remain muted, as per news reports. The broader macroeconomic environment also remains fragile, compounded by the recent hike in H1B visa fees announced by the US administration.

IPO Activity

The primary market is gearing up for a busy week as several IPOs are set to open for subscription. Key public issues include Tata Capital IPO and LG Electronics IPO, along with around five new IPOs 4 on the mainboard and one in the SME segment.

FOMC Meeting Minutes

The Federal Reserve will release its FOMC meeting minutes on Wednesday, October 8. In its recent September meeting, the Fed, chaired by Jerome Powell, cut the benchmark interest rate to 4%–4.25%, marking the first rate reduction of 2025.

This is a notable shift from previous statements where rates were expected to remain at 4.25%–4.5%, after five consecutive steady meetings over nine months.

US Government Shutdown

The US government shutdown is expected to persist into next week after the Senate failed to pass both Democratic and Republican funding proposals.

With lawmakers leaving Washington for the weekend and no immediate plans for an early return of the House, the political deadlock shows little sign of resolution.

Gold Prices

Gold prices climbed on Monday. The rise is driven by concerns over the economic impact of the prolonged US government shutdown and renewed expectations of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.

Investors often view gold as a safe haven asset during times of global uncertainty, making its price movements a key factor for portfolio strategy in the coming week.
