Dec-01-2025

Indian equity benchmarks continued to trade in green in morning deals, after India's economy grew at a higher-than-expected 8.2 per cent in July-September - the fastest pace in six quarters. Some support also came as Crisil raised its forecast for the country's Gross domestic product (GDP) growth to 7 per cent from 6.5 per cent for the current financial year (FY26), following the first-half growth of 8 per cent that exceeded expectations. Traders took a note of data compiled by S&P Global showing that India’s manufacturing activity continued to expand in November, with the Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) at 56.6, down from 59.2 in October. The overall growth remained strong, with the index staying well above the neutral mark. On the global front, Asian markets were trading mostly in green, following the broadly positive cues from Wall Street on Friday, as renewed optimism about the outlook for interest rates continued to contribute to the recent rebound in the markets following dovish comments from leading US Fed officials.
