    Indian stock market: 8 things that changed for the market overnight - Gift Nifty, US GDP to Japan’s inflation

    Indian stock market: The Asian markets traded higher, while the US stocks jumped overnight after economic data raised hopes of easing monetary policy and interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve.

    Indian stock market: The Indian stock market indices, Sensex and Nifty are expected to open on a positive note Friday following gains in global peers.

    The Asian markets traded higher, while the US stocks jumped overnight after economic data raised hopes of easing monetary policy and interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve.

    The domestic equity market ended higher on Thursday amid across-the-board buying as investors remained upbeat on India’s growth prospects.

    The Sensex ended 358.79 points, or 0.51%, higher at 70,865.10, while the Nifty 50 gained 104.90 points, or 0.50%, to settle at 21,255.05.

    “Market is likely to move in a range as investor participation is expected to gradually decline globally ahead of the Christmas and New Year holiday," said Siddhartha Khemka, Head - Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services.
