Stock Market LIVE Updates: '(RBI's) move signals a strategic push to stimulate demand and investment'

Stock Market LIVE Updates: "In recent policies, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) maintained a neutral stance, prioritising inflation control while cautiously supporting growth, with GDP projections steady at 6.5–7 per cent and inflation seen moderating around 4.5–5 per cent. However, with inflation risks easing and growth concerns resurfacing, the RBI has now pivoted towards a more supportive monetary path. In its latest policy, the Monetary Policy Committee cut the repo rate by 25 basis points to 6 per cent — its second consecutive cut — and shifted its stance from neutral to accommodative. The move signals a strategic push to stimulate demand and investment, while keeping a close watch on inflationary dynamics."
