Q3 EARNINGS TO TRICKLE IN THIS WEEK:
IMPORTANT THEMES FOR THE DAY:
This will be the first monetary policy committee (MPC) meeting under governor Shaktikanta Das, and the outcome will be a close call.
But the good thing for the bulls camp is that the MPC meeting is on backdrop of a already dovish Federal Reserve. The street is also hoping for a rate cut by RBI and a softer stance in wake of easing inflation, lower commodity prices, and weaker growth momentum.
That said, MPC outcome likely to be a close call as on the other hand, the street is nervous on fear of fiscal slippages due to series of welfare schemes announced in the budget. Also as election approaches pre-election spending and political risks will remain high.
Long story short: MPC may hold rates, that said a strong dovish tilt quite likely.
So all anxious eyes turn to RBI Monetary Policy outcome to be wired at 11.45 am followed by RBI Governor Speech at 12.00 pm.
