Making the investors’ sentiment jittery, FIIs continued to sell in the Indian equity markets. So far, they have sold Rs 21,357.46 crore in January. During the last three months, FIIs were the net sellers of Rs 1,77,402.49 crore. The experts have added that the primary cause behind the continuous selling by foreign institutional investors is the consistent increase in the dollar index, which is above 109 now.

The Fed is set to hit the pause button on rate cuts, for now.

Borrowers hoping for more financial relief from the Federal Reserve may have a wait on their hands, as the central bank is expected to hit the pause button on additional rate cuts at its Jan. 29 meeting.

The Fed is expected to hold its benchmark rate steady on Wednesday at its current range between 4.25% to 4.5%, according to more than 9 in 10 economists polled by financial data site FactSet. Most economists also predict the Fed will hold off on cutting at its March 19 meeting, which means the next rate cut might not occur until the central bank's May 7 meeting, FactSet data shows.

The Federal Reserve holds interest rates steady as inflation remains stubborn.

Fed policymakers have hinted that they'll be cautious about additional rate cuts, so long as the job market remains solid and prices continue to climb.

I have no hopes. Mostly it should be non-event. For markets FM will leave it to RBI to announce rate cuts. No changes in personal tax. Few duty increases and decreases here and there. Big talk about support to agriculture, education, other sources of energy etc increase in defence expenditure.
