Market rides out 'expected' US rate hike, Nifty up 0.2%

Indian stock markets wrapped up the day on a slightly positive note on Thursday, digesting the anticipated hike from the US Federal Reserve. The Nifty index gained traction, while the Sensex slipped marginally.

As bond yields eased following the 25-basis-point rise and oil prices corrected, domestic institutions buoyed market performance amidst foreign investor sell-offs.

This resilience in broader indices suggests a healthy sentiment among investors despite the volatility.
