Benchmark indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex concluded Friday’s volatile session broadly in green. “The domestic market, though experienced a lack of decisive direction, closed the day on a positive note. The optimism in the US market was fuelled by progress in debt ceiling talks and stronger-than-expected jobless claims. However, the prospect of a stronger US economy suggests that the Federal Reserve may keep policy rates elevated for an extended duration,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
