Among global contemporaries, the Indian stock market ranks fifth in market value, right behind the US, China, Japan and Hong Kong.
The positive market was courtesy of US Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller's dovish commentary on hinting potential rate cuts by March 2024. The equity advancement was heavily led by information technology (IT) stocks.
Meanwhile, NSE also benefited from the positive commentary. Nifty50 opened at 19,976.55 and is trading at 20,041.20 at the time of publishing. It's expected that it closes above 20,000 points for the day.
