  • The Nifty gained 169.90 points (+0.68%) to 25,239.10, crossing 25,200.

💸 Market Transactions:

  • Domestic Institutional Investors (DII): Bought ₹1,518.73 crore

DII inflows, supported by modest FII buying, fueled the day’s rally.

📊📑 Important Observations and Market Sentiments: Editor Special

  • The domestic market sustained its recovery, driven by global optimism over a ~25 bps Fed rate cut (expected tomorrow) and renewed India-US trade negotiations (amid a 50% tariff). Auto and consumer durable stocks outperformed ahead of GST 2.0 rollout (September 22) and festive demand.

  • Strong domestic macros (potential RBI rate cut, monsoon benefits) and upward earnings revisions for H2FY26 support valuations, mitigating downside risks from trade uncertainties. Analysts expect Nifty to consolidate around 25,200–25,500, with support at 25,100—watch Fed policy and trade progress.

❓ DO YOU KNOW?

The Fed’s rate decision tomorrow follows today’s U.S. retail sales data (expected +0.3% MoM), with a 25-bps cut widely anticipated, potentially easing global borrowing costs.
