Robust rally in global peers after the US Federal Reserve maintained its projection of three rate cuts this year helped in boosting sentiment as well.

On the global front, Asian shares jumped with Japan's Nikkei 225 hitting record highs, alongside non-yielding assets like gold prices also gaining momentum. On the other hand, US dollar slipped against a basket of currencies on expectations of rate cut as early as June.

In the policy meeting held on March 20, US Federal Reserve kept rates unchanged, ranging from 5.25% to 5.5%. However, the Fed hinted for three rate cuts of 25 basis points each in 2024 alone, which comes as a good news for market.
