Indian Markets Rise After Fed Rate Cut

Indian equities opened modestly higher on Thursday after the U.S. Federal Reserve delivered a widely anticipated 25-basis-point rate cut to 3.50%–3.75%; the S&P BSE Sensex rose 69 points to 84,460 and the Nifty 50 added 23 points to 25,781. The move, alongside a softer dollar, mixed global cues including weaker Oracle earnings, and Rs1,651 crore FII selling on Dec. 10, supported tech and metals.

Official Fed rate cut and market reactions yield actionable signals, limited by predictability and modest news novelty.
