Volatile Week Ahead for Indian Markets Amid Fed Speech, Iran Tensions

The Indian stock market is expected to remain volatile in the coming week as several key factors come into play. The Federal Reserve Chairman's keynote speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium on August 28 will be a major trigger for markets.

US-Iran tensions and crude oil prices are also likely to influence investor sentiment, with potential disruptions to global supplies and sustained high oil prices posing risks for India's economy.

The Sensex ended last week largely unchanged, while the Nifty rose 20 points. Despite this, both key indices posted weekly losses of around 0.47% and nearly 0.60%, respectively.
