Vikram Kasat, Head - Advisory, PL Capital - Prabhudas Lilladher said: "The Indian markets continued their uptrend following the US Federal Reserve's recent decision to cut interest rates by 50 basis points, boosting global sentiment and pushing the Nifty index to a new record high above 25,900. While some profit-booking occurred in sectors like IT, these corrections were expected after their earlier rally."
"Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) maintained long positions in the index, further supporting the rally. Meanwhile, oil prices showed a slight recovery, and wholesale inflation data indicated moderation, which could influence market trends going forward," Kasat added.
As per provisional figures, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs)/Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) bought shares worth a net Rs 14,064.05 crore and domestic institutional investors sold shares worth a net Rs 4,427.08 crore on 20th September 2024.--IANS
