Stock market today: The domestic benchmark indices, Nifty 50 and Sensex, on Friday, were muted as investors awaited the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) policy announcement, which is widely expected to include a rate cut.
The Nifty 50 decreased by 0.02% to reach 24,746.95, whereas the Sensex fell by 0.09% to 81,381.77 at 9:25 IST.
The RBI is anticipated to lower its key lending rate by 25 basis points for the third consecutive time. The policy decision is set to be announced at 10:00 a.m. IST.
Although a 25 basis point reduction seems likely, market participants will pay close attention to the statement regarding inflation, economic growth, and future rate trajectories, noted market experts.
Other Asian markets remained lackluster, and US equities on Wall Street declined overnight due to a significant dispute involving President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.
