Sensex jumps over 500 points, Nifty above 22,850 after Fed keeps rates unchanged. What lies ahead?
NSE moved higher.
· Economic Times Markets, ET Stocks
Following the Federal Reserve's recent decision, the Indian stock market surged, with Sensex rising by over 500 points and Nifty up by more than 150 points. Adani Ports and Power Grid were among the top gainers, while Trent faced a downturn. The breadth of the market remained positive, as advances outnumbered declines on the NSE.
The analysis
Against that, the stock is +5.0% on the day at ₹1,848.80, and has returned -0.8% over three months. It is trading close to its 52-week high, so expectations were already elevated going in. The infrastructure sector has moved -14.5% over the same period, so Adani Ports is running 13.7 points ahead of its peers.
For Adani Ports, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the infrastructure peer set alongside it.
