Flat Start for Markets, All Eyes on RBI

Indian markets are bracing for a cautious open this Monday. Global cues are mixed—Japan’s Nikkei and Topix dipped, while US indices closed steady after clocking their best monthly gains since Nov 2023. Gift Nifty hints at a flat open.

The big domestic trigger? The RBI’s monetary policy decision on Friday, with markets pricing in a 25-bps rate cut. Investors will also track May auto sales, foreign fund flows, and the fallout from Trump’s move to double US steel tariffs to 50%.

India’s GDP grew 7.4% in Q4, even as FY25 growth slowed to 6.5%. GST collections stayed strong at ₹2 lakh crore+, and crude oil prices are heating up again.

“Stay diversified,” says PL Capital’s Vikram Kasat. “Macro resilience is intact, but global uncertainty looms.”
