Stock Market LIVE Updates: 'Large-cap stocks led the gains'
Stock Market LIVE Updates: Indian equities advanced in tandem with regional markets as easing crude oil prices and a largely priced-in U.S. Fed rate hike improved investor sentiment. The constructive mood was further reinforced by a moderation in Japanese bond yields ahead of the BoJ's policy decision, supporting risk appetite across Asia. Domestically, large-cap stocks led the gains, driven by strength in banking, FMCG and automobile counters, while the IT sector witnessed selective profit booking following its recent outperformance. Investors now await the Fed Chair's commentary for deeper insight into the future rate trajectory, with the guidance expected to influence global liquidity conditions, capital flows and the near-term direction of financial markets.
