Global Cues
Asian stock markets experienced a rally on Thursday, propelled by Wall Street’s surge to record highs overnight. This surge followed a US inflation report showing milder-than-expected results, fueling expectations that the Federal Reserve may implement at least two rate cuts within the year.
Wall Street’s three major indexes notched record closes on Wednesday with the benchmark S&P 500 and the Nasdaq both advancing more than 1 per cent, after a smaller-than-expected rise in consumer inflation bolstered investors’ hopes for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
