Stock Market Live Updates: Sensex, Nifty set to open flat ahead of US Fed rate decision
Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices LIVE: Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, are expected to open flat on Wednesday and maintain stability ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s rate decision. The benchmark held steady near record highs in the previous session, with traders anticipating cautious movements until the Fed’s announcement, scheduled after markets close. The Fed is anticipated to cut rates, but the extent—25 or 50 basis points—remains uncertain. A larger cut could attract foreign investment into emerging markets like India, though concerns exist about potential delays in easing impacting economic growth. The Fed’s decision and future policy guidance will influence Indian equities, particularly in foreign inflows and U.S.-dependent sectors like IT and pharma. On Tuesday, institutional investors were net buyers of Indian stocks, purchasing shares worth ₹483 crore and ₹874 crore, respectively.
