The Indian stock market witnessed a slight dip as the week commenced, reflecting a global sentiment of caution influenced by Wall Street's recent trends. Investors are closely eyeing the upcoming release of US inflation data, seeking clues about the Federal Reserve's future monetary policy decisions.

In India, anticipation surrounds the release of February inflation figures, expected to show a decline to a four-month low of 5.02%, alongside projected growth in industrial output by 4.1%, marking a three-month high.

Despite these economic indicators, the market received a boost from China's encouraging news, where Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose for the first time in six months, reaching an 11-month high, driven by robust spending during the Lunar New Year holiday.

However, certain sectors such as technology, automotive, and banking witnessed declines, with notable losses from Tata Consumer Products, Bajaj Auto, Tata Steel, Kotak Bank, and Infosys. As global economic dynamics continue to evolve, market participants remain vigilant, navigating through various factors impacting investment sentiments.
