Investors Await US Fed Rate Decision Amid Inflation and Rising Crude Prices
Investors are closely watching the US Federal Reserve's upcoming interest rate decision amid persistent inflation above 3%, with markets expecting a possible rate hike. Key economic data, including August retail sales, will also influence market direction. Elevated crude oil prices, exceeding $104 per barrel due to geopolitical tensions, add to economic concerns. Indian markets face volatility, with the Nifty near critical support after a five-week decline. Global central bank policies, including those of the Bank of England and Bank of Japan, remain important for investors.
