Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Indian stock market after Fed hold started the day modestly higher, with the Nifty at 22,723, up 25 points, at 9:22 AM IST on 29 Oct 2026, after the US Federal Reserve left rates unchanged at 3.75% to 4.00% as expected. The Fed said inflation remains elevated and, according to Reuters, pushed any change in policy beyond next week’s US midterm elections. Brent crude near $114 and a rupee around 95.2 to the dollar are the main pressure points for India, while foreign portfolio investors bought about Rs 872 crore of shares on Wednesday (provisional, my conversion). This is educational and not a recommendation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

A rate hold removes one uncertainty but leaves the ones that matter most for India: the price of oil, the value of the rupee and whether foreign investors keep buying. This article explains how each channel works, what the early data on 29 Oct shows, which sectors reacted first and what would confirm or break the positive start for the Indian stock market after Fed hold.<\/p>\n

A caution on the data: early-session figures change by the minute, and sources differ on Asian markets, with the Kospi shown as both up and down in different reports. I use time-stamped figures where I can and flag conflicts. The foreign investor figure is provisional. It is educational and not advice.<\/p>\n
