Bullishness was on the rise for benchmark Nifty as it hit another record high — recouping all of its last week’s losses.

Honestly speaking, the Fed is all but certain to lower the Federal Funds rate from its current 23-year high when its latest meeting concludes this Wednesday, September 18, with the street now bickering between whether it will be 25 basis points (0.25%) or 50 basis points (0.50%) on backdrop of driven by recent inflation and jobs data.

As of recording, according to CME Group’s FedWatch Tool, futures traders are pricing in a 53% probability for a 0.25% cut and a 47% chance it’ll be 0.50%.

Amidst this optimism, Wall Street simply too zoomed higher with S&P 500, Nasdaq marking best week of 2024. Dow climbed 2.6% while Nasdaq zoomed 5.93% higher. The S&P notched a 4% weekly gain.
