Indian Market Rallies on Fed Rate Cut, Rupee Weakens
On Thursday, the Indian stock market went up due to the US Federal Reserve cutting interest rates.
The Sensex and Nifty 50 indices increased.
Pharma stocks, such as Eternal and Sun Pharma, saw significant gains, while some stocks like Tata Motors declined.
However, the Indian rupee weakened against the US dollar, breaking its winning streak.
This was partly because the dollar strengthened after the Fed's decision.
Gold prices also showed volatility, initially dropping but then recovering.
Indian stock market indices rose, with the Sensex and Nifty 50 up 0.39% and 0.37%, respectively.
The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, the first cut since December.
Pharmaceutical stocks, including Eternal and Sun Pharma, gained the most.
The Indian rupee weakened, closing at 88.1275 per US dollar after a four-day rally.
Gold prices saw volatility, recovering to ₹1,09,775 from lows.
