The benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty 50 continued to trend upwards after the dovish monetary policy tightening by the US and healthy earnings growth reported by several index heavyweights. .

In fact, the optimism is showing with foreign investors having bought ₹1,638 crore worth of equities on June 28 as against the net selling for most days of the year.

While the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 75 basis points to 2.25-2.5%, the silver lining is investors' hope of a slowdown in rate hike hereafter.

The optimism of easing macro conditions have led Indian indices to a three month high. “The US Fed chairman did not shock the markets this time as they announced a rate hike of 75 bps which was very much in line with expectations. In fact, the dovish commentary lifted the overall sentiments in US markets, which had a favorable rub off effect in our markets at the opening yesterday…Eventually, the benchmark index Nifty managed to close at 3-month high by adding more than 1.70% to the previous close,” said Sameet Chavan, chief analyst-technical and derivatives at Angel One.

Apart from the supportive global cues, strong earnings results at home are also adding to market gains.
