Top 5 stocks of the day: Softening in the RBI’s tightening stand, a trigger for Indian market
According to Shankar Sharma, founder of GQuant Investech, the trigger for the Indian market will be a softening in the RBI's tightening stance because there is enough proof that the rate-tightening cycle has an effect on consumer demand, both in rural and urban India.
You can tell there is a softening in demand by looking at the numbers of consumer companies like Asian Paints and others. Therefore, he continued, I believe the trigger will occur at the following policy meeting, when the RBI should likely pause or provide a strong enough hint that it is shifting from a hawkish to a dovish stance.
