Indian stocks open higher as Fed hike worries ease; Nifty 50 up 0.83%, Sensex gains 0.84%
Indian equities opened higher as a softer U.S. jobs report reduced expectations for near-term Fed tightening, improving emerging-market risk appetite and supporting potential foreign inflows. IT stocks led gains, aided by lower-rate tailwinds for U.S.-linked revenue and growth expectations; HCLTech outperformed on a $1.14B European strategic partnership. The move underscores cross-asset sensitivity to U.S. labor data and global rates.
