The Indian benchmark indices experienced a robust rally in the first week of the fortnight, matching the global upswing sparked by Federal Reserve’s hints of a slowdown in interest rate hikes starting in December. The domestic indices reached new all-time highs, bringing back the long-missing optimism.
