Attributing the flat week which saw markets closing in deep red on few days to global uncertainties, analysts predict the earnings season will drive the markets in the near term. Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, said, "The week began strong with optimism about future rate cuts, easing global inflation, and softer bond yields. However, concerns over weak China and Eurozone manufacturing data, along with Red Sea tensions, led to a flat market close."

Numbers of quarterly growth for the October to December period are set to start trickling in soon.
