Ahmedabad: The Indian stock market today saw fresh buying led by foreign investors after positive reports by the US Federal Reserve on interest rate cuts by 50 basis points, including the possibility of further rate cuts in future, as the Sensex crossed the 84,000 mark for the first time in its history. Yesterday, there were reports of foreign investment rising in India and the Nifty also hit a new record high of 25849.
Today's rally in the market was based on strong optimism that interest rates in the US will come down after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates, so foreign investors will pump large amounts of fresh funds into India in the hope of higher returns.
