Tech and bank shares led gains after investors priced in easier US policy.

Overview

  • The Federal Reserve lowered rates by 25 basis points to 4–4.25% and signaled scope for further easing this year, with Chair Jerome Powell calling the move risk management.
  • Indian benchmarks opened higher on Thursday, with the Sensex back above 83,000 and the Nifty over 25,400 as IT names including Infosys, Wipro and HCLTech outperformed.
