Equity markets will keenly track outcome of the US Federal Reserve policy meeting this week amid heightened expectations of an interest rate cut along with WPI inflation data, analysts said.

"Looking ahead, the key global event this week will be the US FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting outcome on September 17. Markets are widely factoring in a minimum 25 bps rate cut, given signs of a slowdown in the US job market. "On the domestic front, any further developments on the USIndia trade front will also remain a critical driver of market sentiment. Overall, FII flows will continue to play a pivotal role in sustaining momentum," Santosh Meena, Head of Research at Swastika Investmart, said.
