Global trends, inflation data to drive market sentiment this week: Analysts
Equity investors would track global market trends, inflation data and trading activity of foreign investors for further cues this week, analysts said. Moreover, progress of monsoon and developments related to trade talks would also be monitored by investors, experts noted. "Going forward, market participants will focus on key macroeconomic data for further cues. High-frequency indicators such as CPI inflation will be closely tracked to gauge demand trends and the central bank's next steps. Additionally, the progress of monsoon and sowing patterns will be monitored due to their implications for rural consumption," Ajit Mishra -- SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd -- said. On the global front, developments in trade negotiations and movements in US bond yields will continue to influence investor sentiment, he added. Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty surged on Friday, driven by a rally in rate-sensitive sectors following the Reserve Bank's jumbo rate cut of 50 basis points. The 30-share BSE Sensex ended the day higher by 746.95 points, or 0.92 per cent, to settle at 82,188.99. The 50-share NSE Nifty reclaimed the 25,000-level and climbed 252.15 points, or 1.02 per cent, to settle at 25,003.05. "We expect Indian markets to witness a gradual up-move, supported by positive sentiment following higher-than-anticipated rate cut by the RBI and optimism surrounding a potential US-India trade agreement with officials from both sides meeting in New Delhi to finalise the first phase of the proposed deal," Siddhartha Khemka, Head, Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd, said. "Meanwhile, global headwinds, including unexpected shifts in US tariffs and ongoing geopolitical tensions, may induce volatility," he said. Last week, the BSE benchmark surged 737.98 points, or 0.90 per cent, and the Nifty jumped 252.35 points, or 1 per cent. Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Ltd, said, the aggressive RBI rate cut, backed by cooling inflation and a steady GDP outlook, is likely to support investor confidence amidst the ongoing global uncertainties.

Indian auto industry welcomes RBI's rate cut move, hopes for enhanced consumer affordability
The Indian automobile industry believes the RBI's decision to reduce the repo rate will add positive sentiment among consumers in the market. (AFP) Notify me The Automobile industry has supported the Reserve Bank of India's rate-cut decision, and they believe that this decision will add positive sentiment among consumers in the market. On Friday, the RBI reduced the repo rate by 50 basis points to 5.5 per cent. The central bank also cut the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) by 100 basis points to 3 per cent. The CRR cut will be implemented starting September 6, in four tranches of 25 basis points each in four fortnights. The CRR cut alone will infuse a liquidity of ₹ 2.5 lakh crore in the Indian banking system. Shailesh Chandra, President, SIAM and Managing Director of Tata Passenger Vehicles Ltd & Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd., welcomed the RBI's decision of a 50 bps repo rate cut. He said, "Such a reduction in repo rates would have a positive impact on the Auto sector since it would lead to increased accessibility to finance at reduced costs, thereby creating a positive sentiment amongst the consumers in the market." Anish Shah, Group CEO & MD, Mahindra Group, supported the decision of the RBI to reduce rates at a time when the Indian economy is poised for its next phase of growth. "This move demonstrates the RBI's confidence in the macroeconomic fundamentals and its proactive approach to supporting sustainable expansion. The rate cut will serve as a positive catalyst for consumption and investment, particularly in interest-sensitive sectors such as automobiles, housing, and MSMEs. It will also ease borrowing costs, improve liquidity, and further strengthen the momentum behind India's infrastructure and manufacturing push," Anish Shah said Additionally, Venkatram Mamillapalle, Country CEO & Managing Director, Renault India, believes that this rate cut is a timely move and says that this move will add to customer affordability. "This policy is expected to strengthen liquidity and accelerate the transmission of lower interest rates to consumers, which will spur demand in the economy. For the automotive sector, this translates directly into improved access to affordable vehicle financing, especially in the entry and mid-level segments," he said. Furthermore, he mentions that he is optimistic about positive growth in the auto industry for FY2025- 26, powered by favourable macroeconomic indicators, strong fundamentals, and evolving consumer confidence. "The RBI's proactive measures are poised to spur automotive retail, enhance customer affordability, and strengthen the economic cycle," he further added. Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) vehicle retail sales data for May, released on Friday, show a modest rise of 5 per cent compared to the same month last year. FADA also said that global supply-chain headwinds--from rare-earth constraints in EV components to ongoing geopolitical tensions--may keep urban consumer sentiment in check. RBI's rate cut and CRR cut will be a major boost for the Industry.
