stock market A period of decline is being seen. However, on Friday it closed in the green after several days of decline. After this, there is concern in the minds of investors whether the market will continue to rise in the new week starting from Monday or the decline will return again. Market experts say that the direction of the stock markets this week will be decided by the quarterly results of companies, global trends and activities of foreign investors.
