Stock market update
indices — the Sensex and Nifty 50 — broke their eight-session losing run on Wednesday, October 1, after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) signaled favorable growth and inflation prospects while keeping both the repo rate and policy stance unchanged.
The RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) unanimously voted to maintain the repo rate at 5.50 per cent and continue with its neutral stance. This marked the second straight meeting of no change in rates, which analysts say could pave the way for a possible cut in December.
At the close, the Sensex gained 716 points, or 0.89 per cent, to finish at 80,983.31, while the Nifty 50 rose 225 points, or 0.92 per cent, to end at 24,836.30. The BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices also advanced, climbing 0.91 per cent and 1.16 per cent, respectively.
