On Wednesday, the Fed maintained its benchmark overnight interest rate in the 4.25%-4.50% range and signaled that two quarter-point rate cuts are likely later this year, consistent with its forecast from three months ago.

The unemployment rate is projected to rise slightly to 4.4%, compared to the previous estimate of 4.3%. Core inflation is now expected to end the year at 2.8%, up from the prior forecast of 2.5%. Trump kept up his threats of reciprocal tariffs coming in April 2'a move that is likely to draw more retaliation from major global economies and spark a renewed trade war. US stocks rallied following the decision amid encouragement that further cuts could be ahead. The Dow jumped 0.92%, and the S&P 500 surged just over 1.08%. The Nasdaq Composite gained 1.41%. Tesla stock rose over 4% after advancing its robotaxi plans in California, and Boeing Co. jumped 7% on positive operational performance updates from its CFO.

Hasn't fared well - amongst the low performers

Indian banks earnings growth may bottom out next fiscal year due to slow GDP and sluggish credit growth, according to Motilal Oswal. Private banks could see growth bottoming at 11% in FY26, while public sector banks may experience 8% CAGR due to higher costs and limited loan growth. Large cap banks are favored for their strong balance sheets.

Bank earnings growth could bottom out in FY26: Motilal Oswal

In FY25, sectors like media, energy, PSU banks, and realty are expected to perform poorly, while defence, financial services, and healthcare are projected to see gains. Media has witnessed a significant profit decline, while PSU banks, despite strong numbers, face challenges like NPAs. Positive views are held on metals, NBFCs, private banks, and technology for FY26.

FY25 hits & misses: Media, PSU bank shares slip in double digits while defence, financial services shine

In February 2025, mutual funds increased holdings in private banks, NBFCs, healthcare, telecom, and metals, while sectors like media, capital goods, and infrastructure saw declines. Private banks led with an 18.5% weightage, making them the top sectoral choice.

Nifty Bank Prediction today – Mar 17, 2025: Index testing a resistance, go short

If you look at the biggest gainer, the crude prices which has cooled off and inflation below sub-4, RBI’s interventions what we have seen, so all these things are just getting a base for our markets to move up and as I said, it will be a stock pickers and the stock specific rather than the entire market selling into it.

NBFCs and Private Banks set to outperform, stay invested: Rahul Shah

Private sector banks lead in MSME lending, surpassing public banks with innovative digital platforms and risk-based lending models.

Private banks lead MSME credit growth, lending surges nearly threefold in 5 years

​We saw private banks do well before that, but they have also taken a backseat. So, from the sectoral perspective, none of the sectors are really coming out of the woods and taking charge for the market to give a breakout from that 22,800 resistance area.

Rahul Sharma advises stock accumulation amid market choppiness

Indian benchmark indices ended in the red on Wednesday dragged by IT, metal and PSU bank stocks though private banks and auto stocks threw their weight around. While Nifty closed at 22,470.50, down by 27.40 points or 0.12%, the BSE Sensex closed at 74,029.76, declining by 72.56 points or 0.10%.Commenting on the day’s action, Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities said that the Nifty experienced another volatile session as traders remained skeptical about the recent market recovery and chose to stay neutral ahead of the Nifty weekly expiry. “Throughout the day, the index remained above 22,300. A multiple-bottom formation is observed around 22,300, making this level a crucial short-term support. On the higher end, it faces resistance at 22,500/22,600,” De said.Here are 8 stock recommendations for Thursday: Stock Ideas
