Stocks To Watch: So, what’s been happening on Dalal Street this week?
Well, the Sensex and Nifty had a bit of a rollercoaster ride but managed to end on a high note. Why the sudden cheer? The Reserve Bank of India hit the pause button on rate hikes, basically saying, “No changes for now, folks.”
This dovish stance gave investors a reason to smile and jump back into buying mode across sectors. It’s like the market got a green light to breathe easy and keep the good vibes rolling.
