The Indian stock market on Thursday reacted with a strong positive sentiment to the US Federal decision that reduced interest rate to 50 basis points, marking the first decrease since 2020.
Indian markets are in cautious mode as the Fed rate cut announcement will be made tonight, with both stock indices, Nifty and Sensex, opening flat on Wednesday with a marginal dip.
The Nifty 50 index opened at 25,406.65 points, gaining 50.15 points or 0.2 per cent, while the BSE Sensex surged 94.39 points at opening to 82,985.33 or 0.11 per cent.
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) continued their bullish stance on Indian stocks, infusing Rs 16,881.03 crore in the second week of September, according to data from the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL).
Indian stock markets opened at a new high on Friday, with both indices continuing the bull run. The Nifty 50 index opened closer to its 52-week high, while the Sensex opened above the 83,000 mark for the first time.
The Indian stock markets are on the brink of entering a new phase, marked by potential rate cuts from the U.S. Federal Reserve, highlighted a report by Nuvama.
Indian stock indices closed Wednesday trade in the red, dragged by a broad-based fall virtually in all the sectoral indices, particularly the media, metal, PSU bank, realty, oil and gas. Profit booking at higher levels also dampened investors sentiment, said analysts.
