Wed Jan 08 07:33:00 UTC 2025: ## Indian Stock Markets Rebound on Global Cues, Dimming Virus Concerns
**Mumbai, India** – Indian stock markets rallied on Wednesday, recovering from two days of losses fueled by positive global indicators and easing anxieties surrounding the new HMPV virus. The Nifty 50 index closed 0.39% higher at 23,707.90, while the BSE Sensex gained 0.30%, finishing at 78,199.11.
Market expert, Parekh, noted the Nifty 50’s pullback from recent declines, highlighting the 23,500 level as a crucial support. He predicted a potential breakout above 23,900 and further gains if the 24,180 resistance is overcome. Similarly, Parekh identified 49,700 as a key support for the Bank Nifty, suggesting a decisive close above 50,700 is needed for sustained growth.
Meanwhile, the US Dollar Index rose 0.17% to 108.438, following data indicating continued strength in the US economy, potentially reducing the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut.
