The Nifty Pharma index gained nearly 1% in the afternoon due to the US Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points. This move has encouraged investor confidence and led to increased buying interest among pharma stocks.
The Federal Reserve’s rate cut is aimed at supporting the US economy but has global effects. For India, lower US interest rates often attract more foreign investment in the pharmaceutical industry. This means more money flows into Indian markets, which can strengthen the rupee and push up stock prices.
Following the announcement, the Nifty Pharma index rose by 0.70%, reaching 22,398.15 points by midday. Key pharma stocks showed impressive gains:
Company | LTP | % Change |
Natco Pharma | 881.25 | 2.80% |
Biocon | 360.80 | 1.82% |
Glenmark Pharma | 2,078.60 | 1.77% |
Ipca Laboratories | 1,327.70 | 1.26% |
Sun Pharma | 1,638.80 | 1.15% |
The Fed’s rate cut makes Indian pharma stocks more attractive as foreign investors seek higher returns. A stronger rupee and easier access to funds may help pharmaceutical companies expand and improve profitability. This is a positive sign for investors with a demat account looking for growth opportunities in this sector.
