Stock market today: Indian stock market benchmarks Sensex and Nifty 50 ended in positive territory for the third straight session on Tuesday, May 14, amid mixed global indicators.
After falling nearly 2% last week, market benchmarks rebounded this week on some comfort on the valuation front. The medium- to long-term outlook for the Indian stock market remains positive due to India’s positive economic growth prospects.
World markets were mixed in the face of US inflation trends. U.S. producer price index statistics for April will be released later today, but the main focus will be on the U.S. consumer price index for April, which will be released on Wednesday. The market expects the US CPI to rise 3.4% in April from a year-on-year increase of 3.5% in March.
Clear signs of easing inflation will strengthen expectations that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in the second half of this year.
Meanwhile, India’s CPI inflation rate in April fell to 4.83% in April from 4.85% in March, the lowest in 11 months, data on Monday showed.
