Nifty 50, Sensex Start the Day Marginally in Green; Shriram Finance Shares Gain

Indian equity markets have started the day today, 5^th December, 2025, marginally in green. At 9:40 a.m. IST, Nifty 50 is up 11.75 points or 0.045%. Sensex is up by 19.30 points or 0.023%.

The flat start indicates to the uncertainty in expectations regarding RBI monetary policy decision today. The RBI will announce its monetary policy decision at around 10:10 a.m. today. Some are expecting that RBI will go for a 25 basis points (0.25%) interest rate cut. Others are expecting that RBI will keep interest rate unchanged. This, because of the depreciation seen in rupee in the past 6 days. If RBI cuts down interest rate, then rupee will depreciate further. Further depreciation in rupee against the dollar will make India’ s imports more expensive. This in turn will push up inflation.
