Live: Can Nifty snap 3-day losing streak after Fed's policy outcome? | Opening Bell

The Nifty extended its losing streak for a third straight session as the index slipped sharply from its opening levels and once again tested Tuesday’s low, with the previous down-gap acting as a stiff resistance that triggered a mid-session slide. Financials and retail stocks dragged the benchmark below 25,800, while the broader markets saw deeper pain with midcaps falling over 1 percent. This morning, global cues were strong. US markets ended higher overnight after the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 bps, marking its third rate cut this year. Asian markets also turned higher following Wall Street's positive moves.
