Markets Await US Federal Reserve Rate Decision Amid Inflation and Oil Price Concerns
Investors worldwide are closely watching the US Federal Reserve's upcoming interest rate decision, scheduled for September 16, amid persistent inflation above 3%. The Fed's policy stance, including potential rate hikes, is expected to influence global markets, including Indian equities, which have faced recent declines. Elevated crude oil prices above $100, driven by Middle East tensions, add inflationary pressure and market volatility. Key US economic data, such as retail sales and manufacturing surveys, will also inform market expectations this week.
