Benchmark indices have trimmed early gains and are trading marginally positive as investors booked profits at higher levels after both the benchmark indices cruised near their all-time highs. At 12:57AM the Sensex was up 79 points at 20,988 and the Nifty was up 25 points at 6,237.

On the global front, Asian share markets took heart from record highs in U.S. stocks on Wednesday as investors wagered the Federal Reserve would rock no boats at its policy meeting and leave stimulus in place for the next few months at least.

With a hawk's eye on inflation, the Reserve Bank of India on Tuesday increased the key policy rate, or the repo rate, by 25 bps to 7.75 per cent, and reduced the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate by an equal amount (to 8.75 per cent) to bring down banks’ cost of funds. In this case you should naturally be buying Banking stocks and other rate sensitives.  Mudit picks for you what to buy from banking, realty names.
