RBI Likely to End Longest Rate Pause with Expected Rate Cut. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expected to lower interest rates after keeping them unchanged for a long time. This means borrowing money, like loans, could become cheaper. The last time RBI reduced rates was in 2020, but later, it increased them to control rising prices. Now, with inflation under control and the government supporting a rate cut, RBI might reduce rates to boost the economy. However, global factors like US policies could impact the decision. 13 4 replies
When you buy from Smallcase and demat is with Zerodha, who holds the stocks? Basically I bought some smallcases and the demat account was zerodha. Now I sold off my stocks after a while via zerodha, whateve it had. But Smallcase is still showing those cases there. It has been a year since I sold, so I don't remember what was that.

RBI rate cuts ? Inflation ? Liquidity ? Lets discuss ! I don’t know for sure what RBI will decide, but if I analyze the situation right now in India. Here’s why a rate cut may not happen tomorrow: Inflation Concerns: RBI’s primary focus is to keep inflation within its target range (4% ± 2%). Recent inflation numbers have been slightly elevated due to food and fuel prices, so RBI might wait for inflation to cool down further before cutting rates. Cutting rates too soon could fuel inflation further, which is why central banks prefer to be cautious. And if... 2 1 replies

If RBI does indeed cut rates by 25 BPS,how much % of a fall/rise should we expect tomorrow? Since markets have already priced in the rate cuts,if there are no rate cuts we would definitely fall but if there is indeed a 25bps rate cut,I personally think we would go back to 22800 levels as it’s not aggressive enough to change much of our current situation. In case we get a more aggressive cut i.e 50bps or more we can definitely expect a rally towards 24000. What do you guys predict? 1 4 replies
