Cautious market
Investors seemed to have turned cautious ahead of the outcome of the Reserve Bank of India’s second bi-monthly Monetary Policy Committee meeting. Meanwhile today, the MPC chaired by RBI Governor Urjit Patel proceeded with the deliberations for the second day. The RBI’s repo rate decision will be out on Wednesday, 6 June 2018, at around 2:30 pm. The six-member Monetary Policy Committee is meeting for three days for the first time ever in spite of regular two-day meet following some administrative exigencies. The Reserve Bank of India has raised the repo rate to 8% in January 2014 which is about four-and-half-years back. The present repo rate stands at 6%.
