Stock market today: The domestic benchmark indices, Nifty 50 and Sensex, experienced gains during Tuesday’s session, primarily driven by information technology shares following Infosys’s announcement to consider a share buyback, alongside expectations of a US interest rate reduction and positive sentiment stemming from tax cuts.
The Nifty 50 index increased by 0.32%, reaching 24,851 . 25, while the Sensex climbed 0.31% to 81,045.14 at 12:44 IST.
Experts suggest that the favorable news regarding GST reductions and the anticipated US interest rate cut is establishing a support level for the market, shielding it from potential declines. This support was crucial given the ongoing uncertainty related to US tariffs.
The prospects of a US rate cut and the depreciation of the rupee are also benefiting the IT industry, according to analysts.
Reduced interest rates in the US are advantageous for IT companies as they could stimulate technology spending in the world’s largest economy, a critical market for this sector. Additionally, lower rates enhance the appeal of emerging markets like India for investors.
Speculation surrounding a Federal Reserve rate cut during its policy meeting scheduled for September 16-17 has intensified after reports indicated lower-than-expected job growth in August.
