Indian Stocks Tread Cautiously Amid Global Cues and RBI Policy
1 Oct
Summary
- Nifty50 and BSE Sensex open higher ahead of RBI policy
- Market experts anticipate sideways movement due to global indicators
- Sustained FII selling and potential US government shutdown impact
As of October 2, 2025, the Indian stock market opened in the green, with the Nifty50 trading above 24,600 and the BSE Sensex up over 50 points. This comes ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) monetary policy announcement, where interest rates are expected to remain unchanged.
Market experts anticipate a sideways movement in the market, influenced by global economic indicators, employment data, and the central bank's policy stance. Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments Limited, highlights that the focus will be on the RBI Governor's language and message, particularly the impact on banking stocks.
The market's weakness and drift have been led by sustained selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs). However, experts advise investors to adopt a long-term approach, with systematic investment in high-quality large-cap stocks and patience as the key to wealth creation.
Globally, US stock markets finished Tuesday's volatile session higher, despite concerns about an impending government shutdown that could delay economic data and affect the Federal Reserve's rate decisions. Asian markets opened lower, with Chinese and Hong Kong markets closed for holidays.
