Stock Market Highlights LIVE Updates: Investors restricted their equity bets ahead of the US Fed's policy
Markets failed to capitalise on its firm start, as selling pressure resumed after yesterday's breather. The fall can be attributed to continuing foreign fund outflows after the rupee slumped to fresh lows following strength in the US dollar.
Investors restricted their equity bets ahead of the US Fed's policy announcement as they are unsure of the rate cut this time on concerns of a likely uptick in inflation.

Stock Market Highlights LIVE Updates: Sentiment may worsen if Nifty decisively sustains below 24,200
The Nifty slipped sharply as the index failed to move beyond the 21 EMA, leading to significant profit booking in the market. On the daily chart, a bearish engulfing pattern has formed, indicating weak market sentiment. This sentiment may worsen if the Nifty decisively sustains below 24,200. On the higher end, the 24,500-24,550 range may act as resistance.
