Indian Markets React to RBI Rate Pause with Gains in Realty and Auto Sectors
Indian equity markets showed mixed but generally positive trends following the Reserve Bank of India's decision to keep the repo rate steady at 5.25% and maintain a neutral stance. The RBI raised its FY27 GDP growth forecast to 6.7% and lowered inflation projections to 5%. Rate-sensitive sectors like realty and auto led gains, with the Nifty Auto index hitting record highs. Broader markets outperformed frontline indices amid strong foreign portfolio investor activity. Meanwhile, some sectors such as FMCG, media, and private banks saw declines. Global cues, crude oil prices, and geopolitical developments influenced market sentiment.
