POST-MARKET SUMMARY 10th May 2024

On May 10, the Sensex jumped over 260 points while the Nifty closed above the 22000 mark, tracking gains in global equity markets. The surge in global equity markets was driven by prospects of Fed rate cuts, triggered by a surge in US jobless claims, hitting a nine-month high. Analysts suggest that the Fed may cut rates this year, contingent upon further evidence of easing inflation.
