Fed Decision, Inflation, Oil Prices to Dominate Markets This Week

The upcoming week is expected to be dominated by several key market drivers, according to analysts. The US Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision and commentary on future interest rates will be a major global market driver.

Domestic inflation data, including the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Wholesale Price Index (WPI), as well as trade figures, will be crucial for the Indian economy.

Rising crude oil prices, particularly due to Middle East tensions, pose a significant external risk to India. Global macroeconomic and geopolitical risks are expected to keep Indian equities volatile in the week ahead.
