Stock Market Highlights: Sensex settles 329 pts higher, Nifty above 24,950 on Fed's rate cut hint
Economic Times |
Synopsis
Sensex Today | Stock Market Highlights: Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty closed higher Monday, lifted by IT shares after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled the U.S. central bank could cut interest rates as soon as next month.
Indian benchmark indices ended with gains.
Sensex Today | Stock Market Highlights: The BSE Sensex rose 329.06 points, or 0.40%, to finish at 81,635.91, while the NSE Nifty gained 97.65 points, or 0.39%, to settle at 24,967.75.
On the 30-stock Sensex, the shares of Infosys, TCS, HCL Technologies, Tech Mahindra and Tata Motors led the gainers, advancing between 1% and 3%. On a sectoral basis, IT stocks rose 2.4% to lead the advance, with the Nifty’s top four performers all from the sector. The country's two largest software exporters, TCS and Infosys, climbed 2.8% and 3.1%, respectively.
The rally came after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, speaking Friday at Jackson Hole, signaled the U.S. central bank could cut interest rates as soon as September, citing rising risks to the labor market while warning inflation remained a concern. Lower U.S. borrowing costs tend to make emerging-market assets, including India’s, more attractive to global investors.
Still, caution lingered ahead of fresh U.S. tariffs, with President Donald Trump’s additional 25% levy on Indian goods set to take effect Aug. 27, potentially raising duties as high as 50%. India’s mid- and small-cap stocks, more exposed to domestic demand, surrendered early gains to finish largely flat.

French stock Valneva shares tumble after suspension of US chikungunya vaccine licence
Shares of French drugmaker Valneva slumped more than 20% on Monday after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration suspended the licence for its chikungunya vaccine, Ixchiq, with immediate effect, citing serious safety concerns.
The FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) said the suspension was based on reports of more than 20 serious adverse events, including 21 hospitalizations and three deaths, with one fatality directly linked to vaccine-derived encephalitis.
The regulator noted that while Ixchiq received accelerated approval in November 2023 for adults at increased risk of chikungunya, confirmatory trials have yet to demonstrate clear clinical benefit.

Dollar edges higher after slump on Powell's dovish surprise
The dollar nudged higher against major currencies on Monday, stabilising after a steep fall last week that followed remarks from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell that raised expectations of a rate cut next month. The euro declined 0.2% to $1.1693, pulling back from a four-week high of $1.174225 touched on Friday. Sterling and the Swiss franc were each down 0.1%. Major brokerages, including Barclays, BNP Paribas and Deutsche Bank, expect a 25-basis-point Fed rate cut in September following Powell's remarks.
Expectations of policy easing and a slowing U.S. economy, alongside lingering worries about the U.S. fiscal position, are likely to exert pressure on the U.S. dollar, said Samy Chaar, chief economist at Lombard Odier.
Traders price in 85% odds of a quarter-point cut on September 17, up from around 70% before Powell delivered his speech, according to CME's FedWatch tool.

Mercedes-Benz Pension Trust to sell its 3.8% stake in Nissan Motor
The pension trust of Mercedes-Benz will sell off its roughly $346 million shareholding, a 3.8% stake, in Nissan Motor, a spokesperson for the German carmaker said on Monday, adding to pressure on the Japanese automaker's share price.
Japan's third-largest automaker has been hit by U.S. tariffs, restructuring and lower sales volumes that have contributed to a 24% slide in its share price this year.
The sale indicates investor concern over the prospects for Nissan's turnaround plan that includes shutting production at some plants in Japan and overseas to slash costs and restore profitability.
The Mercedes spokesperson said the Nissan stake, which was transferred to the pension assets in 2016, is not of strategic importance and described the sale of the carmaker's remaining 3.8% stake as cleaning out its portfolio.

European stocks fall back after rallying on US rate hopes
Stocks slipped in European trading Monday as investors locked in gains fuelled by the clear shift toward lower rates by the US Federal Reserve, which helped Asian markets kick off the week with a rally.
Fed chief Jerome Powell told central bankers at their annual conference in Wyoming last Friday that "the balance of risks appears to be shifting" toward signs of weakness in the world's largest economy.
Investors interpreted that as a sure signal of a rate cut at the Fed's meeting next month, as inflation has not shown signs of soaring in the wake of President Donald Trump's tariffs blitz.

A wave of optimism swept through the domestic market, driven by expectations of a Fed rate cut in September and a subsequent decline in the US 10-year yield. The IT index outperformed, buoyed by favourable global sentiment. The domestic levers stay positive with the proposed GST rationalisation to push consumption demand, and a good monsoon season could serve as a catalyst to navigate any uncertainty in the global trade environment.
