Key Market Drivers: Fed Meeting in Focus
Upcoming Catalysts
All eyes are now turning toward the Federal Reserve’s meeting on September 17th, with traders positioning for potential policy changes. The market sentiment will largely depend on this week’s critical inflation data:
- US Producer Price Index: Due Wednesday
- US Consumer Price Index: Expected Thursday, September 11th
Some bullish traders are even positioning for a larger half-point rate cut, depending on these inflation outcomes.

- Relentless foreign capital outflow

Investment Outlook: What’s Next?
The market is currently in a neutral trend but showing signs of building momentum. The psychological 25,000 level remains the key battleground for bulls. A decisive move above this level, followed by a break of 25,155, could trigger the next leg of the rally.
