Market Pulse: Key triggers to watch before the September 24 trading session
CNBC-TV18 1 hr ago·23 Sept 2026, 3:51 pm
Global markets are bracing for a key meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, scheduled for September 24. While this high-level summit is being closely watched, analysts do not expect any major breakthroughs. The focus is on whether the two leaders can ease the ongoing trade tensions that have created significant uncertainty for investors worldwide.
Domestic sentiment is also being influenced by US markets, which fell recently. This decline was largely driven by rising US Treasury yields and worries that the Federal Reserve might raise interest rates further. These factors have increased borrowing costs and dampened investor appetite for riskier assets. Consequently, Indian markets are likely to remain cautious as they await the outcome of the summit and further cues from global economic data.
Investors should keep a close eye on the Fed's next policy meeting and the progress of the US-China talks. Any signs of a de-escalation in trade tensions or a pause in US interest rate hikes could provide a positive trigger for the market. Conversely, renewed geopolitical tensions or hawkish comments from US officials could lead to further volatility.
