Since investors await the Federal Reserve’s signal on its future course of action on the interest rate hike front at the Jackson Hole conference later this week, the market is expected to remain volatile.

Moreover, the 40-year high inflation in the UK, weakening economic data in China, and rising global food prices are adding to investors’ concerns. Barring occasional rallies, the market turbulence caused by the macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds has led to many quality stocks witnessing sharp declines since the beginning of the year.
