The stock market may see a rise this week. The market will keep an eye on FOMC minutes, Jackson Hole Symposium, global economic data, domestic economic data, FII-DII flow and upcoming IPOs.
Factors that will determine the market movement this week…
1. FOMC Minutes
Next week, all eyes will be on the minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee and the speech of US Fed Chairman Jerome Powell at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium organized by the Kansas City branch of the Federal Reserve on August 23.
Global central bankers attending the annual meeting will be watching Powell’s speech to know the Fed’s outlook on monetary policy and an updated assessment of US economic development.
Moreover, this event is happening before the Federal Reserve’s September policy meeting. There is a lot of hope that the Fed will start a rate cut cycle in this upcoming meeting.
