Stock market news: The Indian stock market opened flat on Thursday, 30 July, as investors assessed the outcome of the US Federal Reserve’s policy meeting, where the central bank kept interest rates unchanged as expected. However, comments from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh highlighting a continued commitment to controlling inflation left markets seeking further clarity on the future path of monetary policy.
Asian markets traded volatily after US equities and the dollar declined overnight following the Fed decision, which saw three members of the 12-member rate-setting committee dissent. Reports noted that no Fed Chair since the 1970s has faced such a high level of dissent this early in their tenure.
At 9:15 IST, the Nifty 50 was largely unchanged at 24,249.55, while the BSE Sensex slipped 0.02% to 77,638.86.
Sectoral performance remained subdued, with 11 of the 16 major sectoral indices opening in negative territory. The broader mid-cap and small-cap indices declined 0.3% each.
Meanwhile, Brent crude oil prices eased 1.4% to around $90 per barrel after surging 7.9% in the previous session, keeping investor focus on geopolitical risks and inflation concerns.
