A 25 bp rate hike, already discounted by the market, will not trigger any market move.
But if the Fed chief indicates that inflation is coming under control and, therefore, no further rate hikes are needed, that will be a big trigger for markets to move up. But such an outcome is highly unlikely since the Fed will play it safe even if inflation is coming under control, he added.

L&T up by more than 3 per cent and Reliance Industries up almost 2.50 per cent are leading the market upmove.
