Nifty Holds Firm Above 24,600; WPI Data and Rating Upgrade Support Sentiment

Market Overview

Indian benchmarks closed marginally higher on Thursday, with the Nifty holding steady above the 24,600 mark. Trading remained in a narrow range as investors stayed cautious ahead of the closely watched Trump–Putin summit scheduled for Friday.

Key Economic Drivers

  • Wholesale Price Index (WPI) for July slipped to -0.58%, down from -0.13% in June, indicating sustained disinflationary momentum.

  • S&P Global upgraded India’s long-term credit rating from BBB- to BBB, maintaining a stable outlook—a move that added a positive undertone to market sentiment.
