India’s equity benchmarks advanced on Wednesday as investors bought shares in anticipation of a U.S. rate cut and potential U.S.–China trade deal. The Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex rallied, buoyed by foreign inflows, while Asian markets broadly supported the uptick. Traders cited improved global risk appetite, strong earnings in domestic sectors and stabilising currency flows. However, some caution remains ahead of the Federal Reserve outcome and potential volatility from external cues. The overall tone: cautiously optimistic for Indian equities this week.
