  Strong transient magnetic fields are generated in non-central relativistic
heavy-ion collisions. These fields induce anisotropy within the strongly
interacting medium that, in principle, can affect the thermodynamic properties
of the medium. We use the Polyakov loop extended Nambu Jona-Lasinio model to
study the quark matter subjected to an external magnetic field at vanishing
baryon chemical potential ($\mu_{B}$). We have estimated the degree of
anisotropy in the speed of sound and isothermal compressibility within the
magnetized quark matter as a function of temperature ($T$) and magnetic field
($eB$). This study helps us to understand the extent of directionality
generated in the initial stages of non-central collisions while giving us
useful information about the system.
