Sensex and Nifty Rise on US Fed Rate Cut; Infosys, Wipro Lead Gains
Sensex and Nifty Surge on US Fed Rate Cut, Tech Stocks Lead
Indian equity markets extended their bullish run on Thursday following positive global cues after the US Federal Reserve reduced interest rates by 25 basis points, bringing the benchmark rate to 4–4.25%.
The S&P BSE Sensex climbed over 350 points, trading above the 83,000 level, while the NSE Nifty50 crossed 25,400 in early trade. Broader market indices also gained, with market volatility remaining under control.
Expert Insight
Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments, said, “Fed Chair Jerome Powell described the 25 bp rate cut as a ‘risk management cut’. The Fed’s focus remains on uncertainties around economic activity, unemployment, and inflation. With the labour market cooling and 2025 GDP growth projected at 1.6%, there may be room for two more cuts this year, even though the policy isn’t on a preset path.”
Vijayakumar added that while the Fed’s decision may not directly impact Indian equities, the ongoing rally is supported by expectations of earnings recovery and positive developments in India–US trade negotiations.
Domestic Market Performance
On Wednesday, Nifty50 added 91 points to close at 25,330, marking gains in 11 of the last 13 sessions and rebounding over 900 points from its recent low of 24,404 on August 29, 2025. Analysts note that Nifty remains in an uptrend with support around 25,150 and resistance near 25,550–25,670.
With both global and domestic factors providing momentum, Indian markets are expected to open higher, led by technology and banking stocks such as Infosys and Wipro.
