As we move past the Union Budget, all eyes are now on the upcoming RBI Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting. The start of 2025 has been challenging for Nifty, which remains 12% below its all-time high of 26,277.35, recorded in September 2024.
From a technical perspective, Nifty trading below its 200-day moving average (DMA) signals a bearish trend. Additionally, global macroeconomic factors, including US President Donald Trump’s aggressive trade policies, could add uncertainty and volatility to the market.
Key Market Drivers This Week – Riddhi Siddhi Share Brokers’ Insights
RBI MPC Outcome (February 7th): After the US Fed kept rates unchanged, hopes are high for a 25 bps rate cut by the RBI. The government’s middle-class-friendly budget, which included income tax exemptions for earnings up to ₹12 lakh, could support consumer demand, making a rate cut even more likely.
Delhi Assembly Elections (February 5th Voting | February 8th Results): The political outcome may impact market sentiment.
US Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) Data (February 7th): This key global market event could influence Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) flows into Indian equities.
