  "account": "In a holiday-shortened week, the US Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, domestic inflation data, crude oil prices, and developments in West Asia will drive stock market movements, analysts predict. Equity markets will be closed on Monday for Ganesh Chaturthi. Ajit Mishra, SVP of Research at Religare Broking, emphasizes that the week will be dominated by the Fed's monetary policy decision and commentary on interest rate trends. On the domestic front, August WPI and CPI inflation data, along with unemployment and balance of trade data, will be closely watched. The September 15-16 FOMC meeting will be the main global catalyst, according to Hariselvan Radhakrishnan, Founder & CEO of HST Wealth. For India, crude oil poses the most immediate external risk, as any increase in prices could further inflation and put pressure on the rupee and corporate margins. Last week, India's BSE benchmark Sensex dropped 2.26% and the NSE Nifty fell 2%. Global macroeconomic and geopolitical risks are expected to keep Indian equities on edge, with crude oil prices, Middle East developments, and US monetary policy expectations as key market drivers.",
  "summary": "Markets remained under significant pressure during the last week, with the Nifty-50 extending its weekly losing streak to five consecutive weeks, as escalating tensions in West Asia triggered a sharp rise in crude oil prices",
