Besides, local, global macroeconomic data, earnings, auto sales figures, Covid updates and global cues are some of the key factors to guide stock market in the coming week.

Key factors
The key thing to watch out for in the near future would be the US bond yields because any rise in yields can take out the FII money from developing countries like India to western markets and could also be a risk for emerging markets currencies.
