Sensex Nifty Today | Stock Market Live updates: The Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, opened on a positive note today. The upbeat mood follows Wall Street’s overnight rally after the US Federal Reserve held interest rates steady. Asian markets, too, are reflecting optimism, with key indices in Australia and South Korea starting the day on a higher note.
Key events market participants watched out today:
Fed holds rates steady amid policy shifts: In its second policy meeting of 2025, the US Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.25% – 4.50%. This marks the first major monetary policy decision since Donald Trump returned to the White House in January.
China keeps rates unchanged: China’s central bank has also opted to keep its key lending rates unchanged, noting a cautious approach to balancing economic growth and currency stability. The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) left its one-year loan prime rate at 3.1% and the five-year LPR at 3.6%, maintaining these levels since the last rate cut in October.
Wall Street ends on a strong note: US stock markets surged as major indices continued to recover from recent losses. The S&P 500 bounced back after briefly dipping into correction territory, rising by over a percent to close at 5,675.29. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also gained nearly a percent, finishing at 41,964.63. The Nasdaq Composite led the rally with the highest jump of the day, climbing over a percent and a half to settle at 17,750.79.
