Indian equity benchmarks NSE Nifty50 and BSE Sensex are likely to begin Tuesday’s session on a positive note tracking strong cues from other major markets around the globe. Official data released on Monday showed consumer inflation in India eased to a 25-month low and factory output continued on a growth path, supporting optimism about a reduction in the key lending rates soon. All eyes are on a key inflation reading from the world's largest economy as well as a two-day meeting of the Fed that begins later in the day.

Market participants on Dalal Street are set to react to the domestic inflation and IIP numbers.

“Investors are keenly awaiting interest rate decisions by central banks, viz US Fed, ECB and BoJ, where they are expected to take a pause,” Siddhartha Khemka, Head-Retail Research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services, pointed out.
