The Indian stock market is set for a cautious start on Friday, with GIFT Nifty trading around 24,845 about 16 points below Nifty futures' previous close indicating a muted opening. 1. GIFT Nifty Hints at Flat Start A slight discount in GIFT Nifty suggests subdued early market sentiment ahead of the RBI policy decision. 2. Mixed Global Cues Asian markets opened higher, while US indices closed lower overnight due to macro concerns and trade tensions. 3. RBI Policy in Focus RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra will announce the MPC decision today. A 25 bps repo rate cut to 5.75% is widely expected — the third in a row. 4. Thursday’s Market Rally Sensex rose 443.79 points (0.55%) to 81,442.04, and Nifty 50 gained 130.70 points (0.53%) to 24,750.90, driven by broad-based buying. 5. Rate-Sensitive Sectors Gain Banking, realty, and auto sectors outperformed ahead of the expected rate cut and may remain in focus. 6. Tesla & Trade Worries Weigh Tesla stock decline and US-China trade uncertainty dented global sentiment, impacting US and Asian markets. 7. Cautious Optimism Prevails Investors remain optimistic on domestic cues but wary of global risks. RBI’s guidance will be key. 8. Strategy: Stay Selective Focus on sector-specific plays and maintain disciplined positions amid mixed signals.
