European and American stock markets ended with gains on Thursday after the US Federal Reserve's dovish policy stance.
"US stocks moved higher with Nasdaq closing at a record high during Thursday's session, adding to the strong gains in the previous session over Fed's dovish monetary policy statement. Telecom, consumer staples, and consumer discretionary stocks led the charge. The US investors also ignored some disappointing US economic data in light of the forward-looking nature of the Fed," brokerage Angel Broking said in a note on Friday morning.
Meanwhile, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council's first meeting on Thursday saw states disagreeing with the Centre's cut-off on the annual turnover clause that would determine the exemption limit for business enterprises.

The second and last day of the meeting will be held on Friday. The Council is headed by finance minister Arun Jaitley.
