What to Watch Tomorrow
Markets will be watching global cues tomorrow, particularly the US Federal Reserve's decision on interest rates. If the US Fed cuts interest rates, it could lead to a rally in domestic markets. However, if interest rates are left unchanged, it could lead to a decline in domestic markets. Investors will also be watching the domestic macroeconomic data, including the GDP growth rate and inflation rate.
