The Indian equity market scaled new highs on December 14 after US Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell's dovish comments. The Fed dot plot now signals three interest rate cuts for 2024. Along with the benchmarks Sensex and Nifty, broader market indices were also up, as lower interest rates mean higher appetite for slightly riskier assets.
At 1:20 pm, Nifty Midcap 100 was up 1.29 percent at 45,521 and Nifty Smallcap 100 was up 1.13 percent at 14,822.
