Sensex, Nifty: Will stock market rally post US Fed rate cut decision today?
Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty were range-bound in Wednesday’s trade, much in line with Asian peers, as investors globally eye the outcome of the two-day US Federal Reserve’s policy review later today. Analysts are largely betting on a 25 basis points (bps) rate cut, though they do not rule out a bigger 50-bp move. What stock investors would cheer, analysts said, is a small cut with a dovish Fed commentary on future rate cuts.
