RBI Rate Hike Expected as Sensex Falls 400 Points
The stock market is expected to open lower with the BSE Sensex down 400 points and NSE Nifty50 near 22,600 ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's anticipated 25 basis points rate hike, the first since February 2023. Inflation pressures linked to the Middle East conflict and rising oil prices are influencing global rate decisions. Analysts expect the RBI to shift from a neutral stance to tightening, impacting rate-sensitive sectors and non-bank lenders.
