Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- hit fresh record closing high on Thursday, amid rising bets that the Federal Reserve will start cutting interest rates soon. A sharp fall in oil prices overnight also offered support on the eve of the monthly expiry of December month derivative contracts. After a positive start, market remained higher for the whole trading session, amid foreign fund inflows. Provisional data from the NSE showed foreign institutional investors (FIIs) turned net buyers for the first time in the last seven consecutive sessions, buying shares worth Rs 2,926.05 crore on December 27. The street took a note of the Department of Financial Services Secretary Vivek Joshi’s statement that India Inc needs to think 'big and bold', and kickstart a new private sector investment cycle. Joshi also asked banks to include stress testing of cyber risks as part of the risk assessment framework.
Gains got intensified during the second half of the session which helped index to close near day's high point. Traders got encouragement as a report released by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) showed that India is set to become the world's third-largest economy by 2032, and will eventually surpass China and the United States to become the world's largest economic superpower by the end of this century. It added India will sustain robust economic growth, averaging 6.5 percent from 2024 to 2028. Sentiments also remained positive with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s statement that India will begin trade negotiations with the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) bloc of countries for a free trade deal in January.
