Nifty at Support as Fed, Crude Loom

Indian equities enter a holiday-shortened week with the Nifty 50 at a crucial support zone after five consecutive weekly declines. The US Federal Reserve's policy decision on September 16 and crude oil prices above $100 a barrel are key drivers. Analysts expect elevated volatility but see potential buying in the Nifty's 23,000-23,300 support band.
