Stock Market News: The domestic benchmark indices, Nifty 50 and Sensex, finished in the negative on Friday after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) declared a 25 basis points (bps) reduction in the repo rate, lowering it to 6.25 percent. This was the first rate cut in more than five years, indicating a move to stimulate economic growth amidst global uncertainties.
The Sensex dropped by 197.97 points, closing at 77,860.19, while the Nifty 50 fell by 43.40 points, wrapping up the day at 23,559.95. Among the Nifty 50 stocks, 28 rose in value while 23 saw declines.
Vinod Nair, who is the Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, remarked that the rate cut intended to stimulate the faltering economy is a sign of positivity. Nonetheless, yields rose slightly as investors reacted negatively to the lack of expected liquidity measures, which led to profit-taking in the indices.
Moreover, a downward adjustment in the short-term growth outlook, affected by global trade issues and inflation worries, indicates that the central bank will likely pursue a careful and gradual strategy for future rate changes.
Experts believe that the coming week will be quite eventful for both global and Indian markets, influenced by significant macroeconomic data releases and corporate earnings reports. Market sentiment will be impacted by inflation statistics, industrial production data, and major earnings announcements.
