Nifty 50 Ends Higher On Rate Cut Hopes And Global Cues

Positive close driven by global and domestic cues

The Nifty 50 index ended the trading session on October 15, 2025, in positive territory, provisionally closing above the 25,300 mark. The rally was supported by gains across Asian markets and growing investor optimism over a potential rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Domestically, easing retail inflation added to expectations that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) might follow suit with policy easing in its December meeting.

The broader market also saw strong participation, with PSU banks, realty, and auto stocks leading the charge. The Sensex surged by 575 points, closing near 82,727, reflecting broad-based buying across sectors.

Sectoral performance and investor sentiment

Market sentiment was buoyed by improving macroeconomic indicators and hopes of liquidity support. Realty stocks gained on expectations of lower borrowing costs, while PSU banks rallied on robust quarterly earnings and asset quality improvements.
