The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) looks set to keep its policy rate on hold on Wednesday.
Inflation accelerated to a seven-month high and stronger economic growth reduced the need for monetary stimulus. The repo rate would be left at 6 percent, the lowest since November 2010.
In August, the RBI made its only cut in 2017, of 25 basis points, and in October, it retained status-quo.
The central bank is likely to reiterate a “neutral” stance, thus giving itself flexibility to cut rates in February.
The Nifty Tuesday closed at the same level where it opened, Index is trading below its short term moving averages.
