Stock market today: The Indian stock market started on a high note on Wednesday, buoyed by reduced geopolitical tensions and hopes of a potential interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve.
Investors found reassurance in the first conversation between US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi since June, which indicated improving ties.
The Nifty 50 index opened the day at 25,276.60, rising by 37.50 points or 0.15 percent, while the BSE Sensex began at 82,498.97, up by 118.28 points or 0.14 percent.
Market analysts highlighted that optimism is growing regarding India as trade negotiations with the US have resumed. A US trade delegation is currently in India, and discussions that lasted over seven hours were described as “positive” by both parties, which is viewed as a favourable factor for investor confidence.
