Doors wide open!


"The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live." - Flora Whittemore.

A cautious start and muted morning trade is in the offing as investors remain on tenterhooks before the RBI’s latest policy announcement. The doors remain wide open even though markets have resigned to the fact that there won’t be any rate cuts today.

The rupee and the Government’s fiscal profligacy are among the other factors playing on the RBI’s minds. While the rupee has strengthened a wee bit, lack of comfort on the fiscal front is a cause for concern.

Meanwhile, the probability of a CRR cut has gone up due to persistently tight liquidity. Still, it will be better to adopt a wait and watch approach.
