The Indian stock market opened on a positive note today, buoyed by strong global cues and renewed investor optimism following the U.S. Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate cut. Let’s dive into the details of the market’s performance, key stock movements, and insights from analysts.
Market Overview
The BSE Sensex opened at 84,651.15, up from its previous close of 84,544.31, signaling a bullish sentiment among investors. Meanwhile, the Nifty50 experienced a gap-up opening at 25,872.55, surpassing its last close of 25,790.95. This upward momentum can be attributed to a notable rally in Asian markets and a half-percent rise in U.S. index futures, alongside ongoing buying by foreign institutional investors (FIIs).
