The rate cut decision, coupled with hawkish projections for 2025, unnerved investors. The Dow Jones dropped by 1123.03 points (2.58%) to close at 42,326.87, marking its worst streak since 1974.

Indian markets are set to open lower following the US Fed rate cut. Gift Nifty, trading at 24930 early Thursday, reflects the cautious sentiment. Sensex and Nifty had already been under pressure, falling 0.62% and 0.56% respectively in the prior session.
Major Asian indices tracked Wall Street’s losses. Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell by 1%, Australia’s ASX slipped 1.9%, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng dipped by 1%. The global sell-off highlights the extended ripple effect of the Fed’s hawkish stance.
The US Fed rate cut has created turbulence across global markets. While the rate cut was anticipated, the accompanying cautious commentary has intensified investor concerns, signalling a challenging near-term outlook for equities worldwide.
