Ta. The decision signaled continued stability in the domestic stock market, which recorded three consecutive weeks of gains, mainly influenced by the performance of financial sector stocks.
“If headline inflation progresses as expected, the first rate cut could only occur in October. RBI plans to continue to manage liquidity more aggressively this fiscal year as interbank liquidity surplus has been significantly subdued compared to other banks, which is in line with its policy stance.On the inflation front, MPC He expressed caution about domestic and international climate shocks that could cause price increases. Similarly, prevailing geopolitical tensions could disrupt global supply chains and lead to higher prices for commodities, especially oil. Considering the same, we believe that the MPC may postpone the rate cut action till October 2024,” said Vikram Kasat, Head of Advisory at Prabhudas Lilladhar.
