Gift Nifty suggests green opening for equities; China keeps key loan rates unchanged


The domestic equity benchmarks closed higher on Monday, extending gains for a second straight session. The Sensex and Nifty advanced after a cooler than expected U.S. inflation reading lifted global risk appetite and revived hopes of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in the year ahead. Positive cues from Asian markets further supported sentiment. Domestic factors also aided the rebound, with the rupee staging a sharp reversal and foreign institutional investors turning buyers in the cash market. The Nifty settled above the 26,150 mark and closed near its intraday high, led by strength in IT and metal stocks.
