Indian Stock Market Surges Amid US Inflation Hopes

The Indian stock market soared to record highs this week as softer-than-expected US inflation data fueled optimism of a potential rate cut by the Federal Reserve. This led to strong gains across key indices, with the Nifty 50 index climbing around 2%, while the Nifty Midcap 150 and Nifty Smallcap 250 indices posted gains of 2.4% and 1.3%, respectively.

Sector Performance

Most sectors ended the week on a positive note. The top performers were Nifty FMCG, Nifty Private Bank, and Nifty Consumer Durables, which saw gains of 2.99%, 2.95%, and 3.73%, respectively. On the other hand, Nifty Financial Services and Nifty PSU Bank recorded modest gains of 0.92% and 0.91%, while Nifty Oil & Gas saw a significant decline of 2.6%.

Global Markets Overview

In the United States, major stock indices also rallied following the inflation report. The NASDAQ surged by 5.3%, while the Dow Jones and S&P 500 saw gains of 1.9% and 3.5%, respectively. European markets mirrored this positive sentiment, with the FTSE Index rising by 1%.

Mixed Performance in Asia

Asian markets experienced mixed outcomes. Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index closed higher, supported by Wall Street gains and a weaker yen. Hang Seng remained mostly flat, slipping 0.4%, though Kospi gained 1.2% because of the buying activity in the KOSDAQ market, boosting investor confidence. Meanwhile, the Shanghai Composite Index fell by 2.2%, weighed down by concerns over China’s economic outlook.

This global rally underscores the broader market optimism driven by inflation data and expectations for potential monetary policy easing across major economies.
