Fed steady rate decision may not lift Indian stocks
In short
The U.S. Federal Reserve kept rates unchanged, but experts said Indian stocks may still not rise much. They pointed to crude oil near $115 a barrel, higher U.S. bond yields, a weaker rupee, and foreign selling as bigger problems.
This matters for Sensex and Nifty because those risks can weigh on Indian markets. The report does not give a sure direction for the next move.
