Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are set to open higher on November 29, tracking a rise in Asian and US peers. This came against the backdrop of dovish commentary from a US Federal Reserve official elevated bets of rate cuts by as early as March 2024.

India's GIFT Nifty was up 0.31% at 20,029.50 as of 7:58 am IST, above the benchmark Nifty 50's previous close of 19,889.70.

In the November 29 trading session, the Nifty may hit or cross the 20,000-mark and breach its all time high levels. In the previous session it crossed the 19,900-mark, just about 1.65% away from record levels. In November, the market has gained 4.25% while the mid cap index has risen 8.75%.

Globally, Wall Street equities rose overnight after Fed governor Christopher Waller flagged the possibility of lowering the interest rate in the months ahead if inflation continued to come down.
