What has been driving the rally

The supportive global data and monsoon progress in the country have added to confidence of investors as the Sensex opened more than 300 points higher on Thursday.

In the US , the Bond yields have softened as the Federal Reserve's case for starting rate cuts this year has been reinforced by a string of weaker economic data. Surprisingly, the U.S. ISM measure of services activity dropped to its lowest point since mid-2020, and employment data came weaker than expected. The markets will be watching for the June payrolls report due on Friday.

The lower bond yields and interest rate cut expectations in the US will also remain supportive for FPI (Foreign Portfolio Investors) remaining buyers in the markets. The FPI flows have turned positive in June and can gain further momentum, since lower interest rates in the US, weaker US bond yields, and softer dollar will make investments in the emerging markets as India, attractive for te Foreign funds.
