US Fed Cuts Rates, Two Green IPOs & More2 min read

Commentary:

Key benchmark indices extended gains, tracking supportive global cues. The US Fed cut interest rates by 25 bps to spur demand and address job weakness, while cautioning that tariff-led inflation remains a concern. However, the Fed also signaled two more cuts this year. Meanwhile, the Bank of England held rates steady. In the broader market, small- and mid-caps moved in tandem with large-caps. Sectorally, pharma, IT, private banks, and metals led the rally, while PSU banks, energy, and media lagged. Market volatility eased, with India VIX down 3.5%.
