Tech under pressure: INFY and TCS dipped on global tech concerns.
Supportive sectors: Bharti Airtel and L&T helped contain deeper market losses.
Reliance weakness: A 1.4% drop pulled the index further down.
GIFT Nifty Indication
GIFT Nifty signals a flat-to-mildly-negative open, trading near 24,670, pointing toward a cautious start as investors await the RBI credit policy. This aligns with muted global cues and some profit booking.
RBI Credit Policy – Market Awaits Central Bank Direction
Expectations:
Repo Rate: Likely to remain unchanged at 5.50%
Inflation: Softening trend allows room for future cuts
Growth vs. Inflation trade-off: RBI likely to maintain a balanced and dovish stance
Surprise Cut?: A surprise 25 bps cut may lift sentiment sharply across banking, real estate, and auto stocks.
The RBI commentary on liquidity, inflation outlook, and geopolitical headwinds will set the tone for the rest of the trading day.

Support Levels: 24,600 / 24,520
Resistance Levels: 24,720 / 24,800
Focus Sectors:
Banks & NBFCs: Most sensitive to RBI decision
IT Stocks: Remain under pressure, weak RSI across names
Infra & Telecom: Could support index if weakness continues elsewhere
Conclusion:
Today’s market trajectory will be shaped heavily by the RBI’s tone. Any dovish signals or a rate cut could lift the index from support zones. Weakness in banks and IT remains a key headwind, but strength in select infra, telecom, and FMCG names may offer balance.
