Indian markets likely to see another day in red today
Indian markets are very likely to see a day in red today. Market sentiments have been subdued by rupee’s depreciation against the dollar yesterday. The rupee came very near to the Rs 90 per dollar level. It did not touch the Rs 90 level because of intervention by RBI. The central bank sold dollars to arrest the slide in rupee.
RBI likely to keep interest rate unchanged after the depreciation in rupee
The depreciation in rupee seen yesterday has made it highly likely that the RBI will keep interest rate unchanged in its monetary policy meeting. Its monetary policy meeting will take place between December 3rd and December 5th. If the RBI cuts down interest rate, then it will put further downward pressure on rupee. Markets have also started getting anxious once again about the delay in conclusion of Indo – US trade deal.
