Investors should prepare for a potentially volatile session as global markets digest mixed signals ahead of the US Federal Reserve's latest policy decision. Key focus will be on US inflation data and corporate earnings reports, which could influence the Fed's stance on interest rates. For Indian markets, the outcome of these global events will likely set the tone for the opening bell.
Domestic cues will also be critical, with the rupee's movement against the dollar and domestic liquidity conditions being closely watched. Traders are advised to keep a close eye on the Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty levels for any signs of breakout or breakdown. Sector-specific movements in IT and FMCG may also offer directional cues for the broader market.
A key event to monitor is the release of US durable goods orders, which often provides insight into the health of the US economy. Additionally, any updates on geopolitical tensions or oil price movements could add to the market's uncertainty. Investors should remain cautious and avoid taking large directional bets ahead of these key data releases.
