India equities inch higher ahead of Fed, but asset-managers lag
Indian equities rose slightly ahead of the Fed’s rate decision, though asset-management stocks lagged due to regulatory worries.
Indian stock benchmarks opened modestly higher on 29 October 2025, as investors awaited a highly anticipated rate-cut decision by the Federal Reserve. The Nifty 50 rose around 0.14% and the BSE Sensex edged up 0.05%, with broad-based buying in metals and energy. However, shares of asset-management firms declined after fee-structure overhaul rumours emerged. Market sentiment is being shaped by global monetary policy cues and India’s evolving regulatory landscape, placing domestic flows and foreign capital under the microscope.
