Sensex Today: US Fed rate decision, Q2 earnings, and mixed global cues are expected to guide domestic market sentiment today.
At 7:07 AM, GIFT Nifty futures were trading 50 points lower at 26,140.5, hinting at a cautious start for benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty.
Global Cues
Asian markets traded mixed on Wednesday as investors awaited the US Federal Reserve’s policy announcement, where a second consecutive 25-basis-point rate cut is widely expected. Markets have nearly priced in the move, which would lower the federal funds rate to 3.75–4.00 per cent.
Japan’s Nikkei climbed over 1 per cent to a fresh record high, while the Topix was flat and South Korea’s Kospi added 0.17 per cent. Australia’s ASX 200 slipped 0.16 per cent after Q3 inflation rose to 3.2 per cent, the fastest pace in over a year. Hong Kong markets remained closed for a public holiday.
On Wall Street, major US indices hit new record highs overnight — the S&P 500 rose 0.23 per cent, Nasdaq gained 0.80 per cent, and the Dow advanced 0.34 per cent — as investors positioned ahead of the Fed decision.
