The Indian benchmark indices opened on a strong footing today (23rd Sept.2021) after the US Fed signaled that tapering could begin earlier than what market participants expect, but the committee remained equally split on interest rate lift-off.
The Sensex was up 351.37 points at 59,278.70, and the Nifty was 115.10 points higher at 17,661.80. The top gainers on the 50-pack index included Coal India, Tata Motors, Axis Bank, and Tata Steel, while the only laggards were Tech Mahindra, Titan, and TCS.
The broader indices, too, opened firm, rising around 1 percent each. Sectorally, all indices were trading positively, led by the Nifty Realty (up over 4 percent). Besides, the Nifty Bank, Media, and Metal indices also gained by 1 percent each.
