Sensex and Nifty Close Marginally Higher After RBI Holds Rates Steady
Indian stock markets showed modest gains following the Reserve Bank of India's decision to keep the repo rate unchanged at 5.25% and maintain a neutral policy stance. The RBI raised its GDP growth forecast for FY27 to 6.7% while slightly lowering inflation estimates. Market sentiment was influenced by easing crude oil prices and hopes for diplomatic progress in the Middle East. Despite early volatility and sectoral divergences, benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty closed marginally higher, with auto, metal, and realty stocks performing well amid cautious investor sentiment.
