In the first hour of trade itself, over 4.4 lakh shares have changed hands, marking the highest volume recorded since February 5, 2025.
The Indian stock markets were trading lower on Thursday in early deals as the January Fed meeting minutes indicated that Fed officials were concerned about the impact of tariff and immigration policies from the new Trump administration on inflation. FOMC participants "continued to note elevated uncertainty regarding the scope, timing, and potential economic effects of possible changes to trade, immigration, fiscal, and regulatory policies.” As a result, the Fed minutes largely reinforced a cautious approach to rate cuts this year. However, stock-specific movements continue on D-Street.
Ethanol stocks have gained attention amid the Ethanol Blended Petrol Programme (EBPP) during the Ethanol Supply Year (ESY) 2024-25.
