Share Market Live Updates: MPC remains sanguine on growth, continues to remain vigilant on inflation, says Future Generali’s CIO
Niraj Kumar, Chief Investment Officer, Future Generali India Life Insurance Company Ltd on MPC’s decision:
“MPC has delivered ‘Complementary Policy’ in the backdrop of a prudent fiscal budget and largely comfortable global narrative. The policy verdict continues to demonstrate its key focal point being policy stability and achieving inflation target of 4% on a durable basis. MPC remains sanguine on growth and hence continues to remain vigilant on achieving its inflation target. From liquidity standpoint as well, MPC reiterates its tight liquidity stance to ensure better transmission of prior rate hikes. Overall, MPC continues to reprioritize inflation target head-on and distinctly indicates rate change in the near term is unlikely, given that growth likely to remain resilient and inflation though benign, would still be above the target.”

Share Market Live: RBI keeps policy unchanged as expected; a prudent stance towards economic stability, say Industry leaders
Reaction on Today’s RBI Monetary Policy by Industry Leaders:
Ms. Anitha Rangan, Economist, Equirus:
“In the last policy for this fiscal year, RBI has kept policy unchanged as expected. However the decision is not unanimous with a 5-1 vote. No change in stance. The policy estimates a strong revision in growth for FY25 to 7% from 6.5% (Q1-Q3FY25) in the previous policy. Alongside, inflation is moderately revised downwards to 4.5% from 4.6% in the same period. The governor in his speech noted that “job is not yet finished” with 4% target in mind. While batting for India’s resilience amidst global volatility, it appears that RBI is not in discussion for rate cuts as a) 7% growth is very strong and does not require rate support b) Inflation is subject to food price risks and 4.5% is not 4% on a durable basis. Also no giveaways on liquidity. In the quest to preserve the strength and bat for long term growth, RBI will rather look to maintain vigil and not in any rush to cut rates. The 7% growth does not seem to be needing central bank’s nudge”.
Aalesh Avlani, Executive Director & Co- Founder, Credit Wise Capital:
“The RBI MPC’s decision to uphold the repo rate at 6.5% underscores a prudent stance towards economic stability. Amidst this backdrop, digital lending emerges as a catalyst for stimulating consumer expenditure and supporting the automotive sector. This trend was evident in the last few quarters too, including the festive period, where enhanced affordability in financing options spurred sales growth. We remain optimistic about the future as we navigate these favorable conditions and continue to drive forward”

RBI Monetary Policy by Vikrant Mehta, Head - Fixed Income, ITI Mutual Fund
“Today’s MPC decision holding the policy rate and the stance was on expected lines and we found the tone of the MPC to be balanced. The post policy statement and comments from the Central Bank indicate that a meaningful softening of policy stance and/or policy rate is perhaps a couple of meetings away, but we draw comfort from the commentaries related to liquidity viz. the RBI’s objective to keep the overnight rate around the repo rate and the Central Bank’s commitment to remain nimble and flexible on liquidity management. We remain overweight on duration and particularly the long end.”RBI Monetary Policy by Vikrant Mehta, Head - Fixed Income, ITI Mutual Fund

Stock Market Live Today: May see rate cut actions by RBI in latter half of CY24, says Millwood Kane’s CEO Nish Bhatt
Nish Bhatt, Founder & CEO, Millwood Kane International on MPC Announcement:
“The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) retained the key lending rate, repo, at 6.5% marking it the sixth consecutive policy review of no rate action. There was no change in stance of ‘withdrawal of accommodation’, indicating that the RBI is not yet ready to lower the guard against the retail inflation till it aligns with the committed target of 4 percent in a timely and sustainable manner. The CPI for FY24 is projected at 5.4%, while its likely to be at 4.5% in FY25. While, RBI has pegged real GDP growth for FY25 at 7%.
As the expectation is that headline inflation will moderate in the coming months, and there are concerns around continued high systemic liquidity deficit, while money markets continue to remain elevated and moderation happening in global inflationary pressure from last year’s high, we may likely see some rate cuts actions by RBI in the latter half of CY24”

Share Market Live Updates: Largely a non-event policy as MPC maintains status quo, says Invesco MF’s Vikas Garg
Vikas Garg – Head of Fixed Income, Invesco Mutual Fund, on MPC’s policy decision:
“Largely a non-event policy as MPC maintained status quo on policy rates and stance as ‘withdrawal of accommodation’. FY25 inflation guidance at 4.5% reflects continued moderation even as global factors and food inflation remain uncertain. Robust growth expectation at 7% in FY25. No meaningful announcement to immediately ease systematic liquidity. External factors remain healthy with FPI / ECB inflow & adequate FX reserve. Overall, it doesn’t disrupt the expectation of rate cuts in 2HCY2024 in line with the global rate cut cycle, as also the first split appears with a 5:1 vote on the policy rate. It re-affirms our view that market focus will remain on demand-supply dynamics, which is looking extremely favorable for longer tenor G-Sec, especially after the Government’s aggressive fiscal consolidation.”

Commodities Market Today: RBI’s decision to allow residents to hedge gold prices in OTC to safeguard them from price fluctuations, says Kama Jewelry’s MD
Perspective by Mr. Colin Shah, MD, Kama Jewelry on RBI Monetary Policy:
“RBI’s decision to keep the repo rate unchanged at 6.5% is a welcome move which comes as per the industry expectations. With the urban consumption remaining consistently robust along with rural demand gaining momentum, this scenario will act as an enabler in boosting jewellery sales in Indian markets. However, the growing geopolitical tensions remains a concern that could impact the supply chain and put pressure on commodity prices, which will eventually hamper the exports. Further, RBI’s decision to allow resident entities to hedge price of gold in OTC segment in IFSC will help entities to safeguard themselves against the price fluctuations and the adverse currency movements.
In terms of pricing of the yellow metal, it is expected to remain volatile in the near future which will further be guided by factors like inflation trajectory, strength of the USD, geo-political scenario and any economic development in the West.”

RBI monetary policy live updates: Here’s what Rajani Sinha, Chief Economist, CareEdge Ratings, said on RBI Monetary Policy
“The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor delivered a well-balanced policy, aligning largely with the market expectations. RBI’s GDP growth projection of 7% for FY25 is quite bullish and reflects the Central Bank’s confidence in sustenance of the growth trajectory. While overall inflation is projected at average of 4.5% for FY25, it is important to note that the disinflationary trend is not being sustained, with marginal increase in inflation in the third and fourth quarter of FY25.
“Going forward, we feel that RBI would remain cautious given the risk posed by high food inflation. Healthy economic growth gives room to the Central Bank to maintain status quo for some more time. However, in the second half of the year, as domestic inflationary concerns recede and the US Fed starts cutting rates, we can expect a shallow rate cut by RBI. On the liquidity front, RBI will continue to intervene through appropriate tools as required.”

Stock Market Live Today: Raghvendra Nath of Ladderup Wealth on RBI’s policy hold and inflation outlook
Raghvendra Nath, MD, Ladderup Wealth Management
“The outcome of the three-day Monetary Policy Committee meeting aligns with our expectations, as the repo rate remains unchanged at 6.5% and a continued effort towards reducing money supply in the economy is maintained. The cumulative effect of policy repo rate increases is still working its way through the economy through gradual decline in inflation numbers, but geopolitical events and their impact on supply chains and commodity prices are key sources of upside risks to inflation. Although no specific timeline has been indicated for reducing repo rates, it is anticipated that the Reserve Bank of India will initiate this process only after observing a similar move by the United States, aiming to mitigate the risk of capital outflows from India.”

Stock Market Live Today: Palka Arora Chopra of Master Capital Analyses RBI’s decision to maintain repo rate at 6.5%: What’s next for markets
Palka Arora Chopra. Director, Master Capital Services Ltd.
This is the sixth straight halt in the past year. Since the April monetary policy in 2023, the RBI has maintained the repo rate at 6.5%. The Reserve Bank of India’s policy decision was mostly based on market expectations and will have little influence on the domestic market. The status quo in policy rates is a non-event for the common man because banks are likely to take a wait-and-see strategy, waiting for further policy cues in the coming months before adjusting their rates. RBI keeps the FY24 inflation forecast unchanged at 5.4% but lowered it for the last quarter of this fiscal. And, for FY25, Consumer price inflation is seen at 4.5%
The market may not respond significantly, and investors may choose to wait and watch strategy. Banking, finance, and consumer durables are likely to profit from stable interest rates, while technology, healthcare, and utilities would be less affected.

Stock Market Live Today: Debopam Chaudhuri, Chief Economist at Piramal Group, optimistic about RBI’s management of systemic liquidity deficit
Debopam Chaudhuri, Chief Economist at Piramal Group
“RBI has effectively addressed emerging concerns around continued high systemic liquidity deficit. The deficit since December is due to a confluence of seasonal and adhoc macro factors, and should ease on a sustainable basis over the next 2-3 months. With RBI’s continued intervention in managing call money rates at close to the repo rate, I don’t expect deficit to rise up to the highs of Rs 3 lakh crore+, on a durable basis, once again during the rest of 2024. A union budget focused on fiscal consolidation followed by RBI’s assurance to maintain comfortable liquidity levels should provide a breather to our debt markets, till the actual shift in monetary policy occurs during Q1 FY25.”

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has projected FY25 GDP growth and CPI inflation at 7.0 per cent and 5.4 per cent, respectively.
Governor Shaktikanta Das said: “Looking ahead, recovery in rabi sowing, sustained profitability in manufacturing and underlying resilience of services should support economic activity in 2024-25.”
Among the key drivers on the demand side, household consumption is expected to improve, while prospects of fixed investment remain bright owing to an upturn in the private capex cycle, improved business sentiments, healthy balance sheets of banks and corporates; and government’s continued thrust on capital expenditure.

Stock Market Live Today: Perspective on MPC by Nikhil Gupta, Chief Economist, MOFSL Group
The RBI has kept monetary policy unchanged, as broadly expected, with no change in interest rates or policy stance (Both with 5-1 voting). Further, the Governor again emphasized the importance of achieving a 4% inflation target.
The Bank forecasts real GDP growth at 7% in FY25, with inflation at 4.5% vs. 7% and 5.4%, respectively in FY24. (FY25 growth forecast has been revised up, keeping inflation broadly unchanged.)
Overall, there were no major announcements, hinting at an imminent easing. The RBI has been managing daily liquidity with overnight infusion, as and when required. We don’t see easy monetary policy anytime soon, especially with such strong growth.

Stock Market Live Today: Responses by Anil Rego, Founder and Fund Manager at Right Horizons on RBI MPC announcements
In December 2023, the annual retail price inflation in India increased to 5.7%, as opposed to the 4.9% recorded in October. Headline inflation is still impacted by food price uncertainty. The MPC is still committed to keeping inflation within the 4 percent target range.
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased by 7.3%, marking the third successive year in a row. The Monetary Policy Committee has maintained the status quo on the repo rate as inflation moderates in a resilient growing economy.
Since inflation is moderating, economic activity is steady and oil prices are lower and India is poised to be the growth engine for the global economy the markets were expecting the repo rate to be unchanged at 6.5%. We believe markets in the near term will now be driven by upcoming earnings season and 2024 elections.
Markets have touched new highs, especially with earnings for the Q3FY24 coming healthy supporting the trajectory. Investors are bullish as they are favouring rate cuts in 2024 which will unanimously boost the equity markets. The banking sector is the most sensitive to changes in rate cycles and has been a major reason for incremental earnings in FY23 and in H1 of FY24 benefitting from the hikes and credit growth being robust and persistent. Prolonged rate cuts will eventually lead to narrowing NIM but we expect rate cuts to begin in the last quarter and hence the trend in the banking sector is likely to continue in FY24. NBFCs will be best positioned to benefit from cuts in rates as credit growth will improve followed by banks. Also, credit-sensitive sectors like auto and real estate will see higher demand.

Stock Market Live Today: Responses by Divam Sharma, Founder and Fund Manager at Green Portfolio on RBI MPC announcements
As we had expected, the central bank has kept the repo rate unchanged maintaining the status quo. This has come following the global cues as food inflation stays high but overall inflation remains stable.
The GDP forecast has been raised for the first quarter of FY25 to 7.2% following how the Indian economy has been growing beyond expectations.
An unchanged repo gave way for some fleeting enthusiasm for the markets but we don’t see much significant impact, particularly in the long run. Equity investors should remain cautious as markets are volatile and this volatility is expected to continue.

Stock Market Live Today: Responses by Anirudh Garg, Partner and Fund Manager at Invasset on RBI MPC announcements
In today’s monetary policy announcement, the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India emphasized two critical points. First, he highlighted the optimistic outlook for India, with robust growth projections and inflation being effectively managed. The decision to maintain a steady monetary stance is driven by a couple of strategic considerations. Firstly, with upcoming elections, it’s imperative to avoid inflationary pressures to ensure economic stability. Secondly, in light of the US Federal Reserve’s decision to maintain its current interest rates, any reduction in rates by India could lead to significant depreciation of the Indian Rupee. This careful approach underscores the RBI’s commitment to balancing growth aspirations with macroeconomic stability, particularly in the context of global financial dynamics.
- February 08, 2024 11:14
Stock Market Live Today: Responses by Sonam Srivastava, Founder and Fund Manager at Wright Research on RBI MPC announcements
With the decision to keep interest rates unchanged, the RBI aims to strike a balance between controlling inflation and supporting economic growth. This steady stance provides clarity and stability for investors and businesses, fostering an environment conducive to investment and planning.
For the financial markets, particularly the bond and equity markets, the unchanged interest rates signal continuity in borrowing costs, influencing investor sentiments. Equity markets may experience a boost as lower borrowing costs encourage corporate investments and consumer spending, potentially leading to higher stock valuations. However, bond markets might exhibit a subdued reaction as expectations for rate cuts are postponed.
In sectors sensitive to interest rate movements, such as real estate and automobiles, the unchanged policy could offer relief by maintaining affordability for borrowers. Additionally, sectors reliant on consumer spending, like retail and hospitality, may benefit from sustained consumer confidence resulting from stable borrowing costs.
Overall, the RBI’s policy decisions are anticipated to provide stability and support economic recovery, although the exact impact may vary across different segments of the economy. Investors and businesses alike will closely monitor subsequent developments to navigate their strategies in response to evolving market dynamics.

Stock Market live Today: Here’s Post RBI Policy view from Mukesh Kochar, National Head of Wealth at AUM Capital
The MPC outcome is on expected lines only. RBI will continue to focus on aligning inflation towards its target of 4% which is expected to be attained by the June-August quarter. Inflation expectations for Q4 and Q1 have also been reduced. So the market may discount a rate cut possibility during the end of the 2nd quarter or 3rd quarter. The tight liquidity in the banking system may continue for some more time as the focus is on bringing down inflation towards 4%. Increased public debt globally has been cited as a concern and which is very important.

“The mother market US is setting new records and this provides the support to facilitate new records in India, too. The bulls are again on the front foot and will use any positive news to push the market forward.
The event which will be closely watched today would be what RBI says. No rate action is expected today, but the commentary from the central bank would be keenly watched. Positive comments on the economy and any signs of a dovish tone will be positive for the markets.
Even while enjoying this bull run in the market, investors should keep in mind the fact that market valuations are high and partial profit booking and moving some money to fixed income would be a safe strategy.”

Moscow blames last year’s collapse of the Black Sea grain deal that enabled the export of grains from Ukrainian ports on a lack of progress in clearing the way for its own exports.
Gatilov, who represents Russia at UN institutions based in Geneva, said Moscow insisted sanctions be lifted from companies and banks involved in Russian agricultural commodity exports, enabling them to work with insurers and purchase spare parts. - Reuters

Stock Market Live Today: Opening Bell: Sensex and Nifty start positive amidst RBI meeting anticipation; analysts eye liquidity measures
Indian benchmark indices, namely the Sensex and Nifty, initiated the day on a positive note ahead of the RBI policy meeting. The 30-share BSE Sensex ascended by 227.35 points to reach 72,379.35 during early trading, while the NSE Nifty saw an increase of 65.45 points, reaching 21,995.95.
Despite the global stock market surge, analysts predict a subdued market opening in anticipation of the RBI meeting, widely anticipated to maintain current interest rate levels. The focus remains on the RBI’s liquidity measures, with analysts expecting a continued stance of “withdrawal of accommodation” in the monetary policy. Additionally, attention is on companies releasing their results amid the backdrop of record US stock closures, which have spurred Asian market upswings, particularly in Chinese markets.
“Investors would continue to take cues from the earning season. Insurance giant LIC will announce results on Thursday where new business premium growth is expected to remain healthy,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head - Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd
According to Ruchit Jain, Lead Research, 5Paisa.com, Around 63 per cent of FPI positions are still on the short side.
“The reaction post the RBI policy will be important to watch as a breakout on either side of the above mentioned range will signal the next directional move. Traders are advised to stay cautious for now and trade in the direction of the breakout,” he said.
