8. RBI Expected to Maintain Interest Rates Amid Strong Growth and Persistent Inflation

In the next Indian share market news, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is anticipated to maintain its current interest rates until at least July, as indicated by a significant majority of economists surveyed by Reuters. This decision is driven by robust economic growth and lingering concerns over elevated inflation levels. India's economy showcased remarkable growth, expanding by 8.4% in the fourth quarter of 2023, marking it as the fastest-growing among major economies. However, inflation remains a concern, persisting near the upper threshold of the RBI's target range of 2%-6%.

Expectations and Poll Results:

  • In a Reuters poll conducted from March 15-22, all 56 economists unanimously predicted that the RBI would maintain the repo rate at 6.50% during its April 3-5 meeting.
  • While consensus remains on the hold decision for April, economists differ on the timing of the first rate cut.

     

  • Among the 52 economists who offered predictions, nine anticipate a rate cut in the next quarter, 24 in the third quarter, and 17 in the fourth quarter, with the remainder expecting it at a later date.
  • Median forecasts suggest a repo rate of 6.25% by the end of September and further easing to 6.00% by the close of this year.

Stock Market Update

  • The BSE benchmark Sensex closed the day with a gain of 191 points (0.26%), settling at 72,832.
  • The NSE Nifty also performed well, rising by 85 points (0.39%) to reach 22,097.

Rupee Recovery

  • In the Latest market news, The Indian rupee is expected to open slightly higher after hitting a record low last week. Non-deliverable forwards indicate an opening rate of approximately 83.39-40 against the U.S. dollar.

Stocks in F&O Ban

Certain stocks are currently under the F&O ban. These include:

  1. ZEE
  2. Biocon
  3. SAIL
  4. Tata Chemicals

Conclusion

As we approach the end of the financial year, market participants should anticipate heightened volatility due to the March F&O expiry. Keep a close watch on IT stocks, especially following Accenture’s revised revenue forecast. Strategic trades involving Nifty and Bank Nifty within specified ranges and targets are worth considering.
