Benchmark Indian equity indices hit fresh all-time highs in today’s early trade as investors anticipated a rate cut by the US Federal Reserve, which further fuelled positive market sentiment.

The 30-share BSE Sensex rose 293 points to hit a new fresh peak of 83,184 points, while the NSE Nifty also jumped 90 points to hit a new fresh high of 25,446 points. However, profit-taking at higher levels caused the indices to trade flat in the afternoon session. BSE Sensex was trading 71 points up at 82,962 and NSE Nifty was higher 27 points at 25,384 when the reports last came in.
