Indian Markets Up on US Rate Cut, Mixed Signals Remain

Market Sentiment: mixed

|

Importance Score: 7/10

Reasoning

The news presents both positive developments (market gains, rate cut impact) and negative ones (underperformance, FPI selling, lagging sectors), resulting in a mixed overall sentiment. The US Fed rate cut is a significant market driver, justifying a higher importance score.

Key Takeaway

Despite global underperformance, Indian markets received a boost from the US Fed rate cut, but investors should be aware of mixed signals – FPI selling, lagging sectors, and potential volatility from share sales.

Today, Indian equity markets closed positively for the third day in a row! The Nifty index is showing gains, though overall India’s stock market has underperformed globally in 2025, delivering only a 1.9% return in US dollar terms compared to Korea’s 53.5%.
The biggest driver of today’s optimism was the U.S. Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by 25 basis points (to 4%-4.25%). This sparked a rally, but interestingly, it also caused gold prices to fall sharply – down to ₹11,117 per gram for 24 carat gold. This shows how rate cuts can have mixed effects.
Within the market, PSU Banks were the clear winners, jumping 2.6%. IT and Pharma also did well, with Nifty IT rising 0.82% and Nifty Pharma gaining 0.66%. Several individual stocks saw strong gains: Eternal Ltd rose 2.92%, HDFC Life climbed 2.22%, and Sun Pharma advanced 1.75%.
However, not everything was positive. FMCG, Metals, and Real Estate lagged behind. Coal India dropped 1.69%, and Bajaj Finance declined 1.33%. Despite RBI cutting rates by a total of 100 basis points this year, real estate stocks haven’t seen a boost.
We also saw some interesting investor activity: Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) sold off ₹989.81 crore worth of stocks, but Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) stepped in to buy ₹2,205.12 crore, marking their eighth consecutive session of net buying. This suggests strong confidence from local investors.
Looking ahead, analysts recommend buying Eicher Motors, JSW Infrastructure, and Manappuram Finance. Keep an eye on Indosolar, as a promoter is selling a 14.66% stake via an Offer for Sale (OFS) at a floor price of ₹500 per share.
