Rupee rises 31 paise on weaker dollar, lower oil prices and continued FII inflows

The Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar on Monday morning. Falling global crude oil prices and a weaker US dollar supported the rupee's rise.

RBI MPC Starts Today: Will The Central Bank Hold Repo Rate At 5.25%?

RBI MPC August 2026: The Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) begins its three-day policy meeting on Monday, with markets, businesses and borrowers closely watching for fresh cues on inflation, economic growth and the future direction of interest rates. While the policy decision will be announced on August 5, the broader focus will be on what the central bank says about the economy amid heightened geopolitical tensions and an evolving global macroeconomic environment. Economists broadly expect the six-member MPC, chaired by RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra, to keep the benchmark repo rate unchanged at 5.25 per cent, extending the pause announced in the previous policy review. Although the interest rate decision is expected to be largely on expected lines, the RBI's commentary on inflation, liquidity, crude oil prices and external risks is likely to receive equal attention from financial markets. Why The August Policy Matters Unlike previous policy meetings that centred primarily on inflation, this week's review comes against the backdrop of multiple external uncertainties. Global commodity prices, particularly crude oil, remain volatile due to geopolitical tensions, while supply chain disruptions and currency movements continue to influence inflation expectations across economies. At the same time, India's domestic economy has shown signs of resilience, prompting analysts to closely assess whether the RBI believes growth can withstand these external pressures. The policy statement is also expected to provide fresh guidance on liquidity conditions and the central bank's assessment of the balance between supporting growth and containing inflation. Economists Expect Status Quo On Rates According to SBI Research, the RBI is likely to maintain the status quo on policy rates, as consumer price inflation is expected to remain above 5 per cent over the next two quarters. The report noted that domestic economic activity has strengthened, with GDP growth for the first quarter of FY27 expected to exceed 7 per cent, improving upon earlier projections. However, SBI Research also suggested that the central bank is unlikely to adopt an explicitly dovish tone. Persistent volatility in crude oil prices, pressure on the rupee and uncertainty surrounding global capital flows continue to warrant caution despite improvements in domestic macroeconomic indicators. The report added that stronger capital inflows during July, healthier foreign exchange reserves, favourable monsoon progress and near-normal reservoir levels have improved India's economic fundamentals.

Shrikant Goyal, Co-Founder of Getfive, said global uncertainties continue to weigh on businesses, particularly micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), which remain vulnerable to higher input costs and supply chain disruptions. He said affordable access to credit would remain crucial for the sector's resilience and added that, although inflation has edged higher in recent months, it continues to remain within the RBI's manageable range. "We expect the central bank to maintain the status quo on the policy rate front, which will go a long way in supporting the MSME sector in general and the broader economy as a whole," Goyal said. Realty Sector Looks For Policy Continuity The real estate industry is also hoping that the RBI maintains its current policy stance, saying stable borrowing costs have continued to support housing demand. Pradeep Aggarwal, Founder and Chairman of Signature Global (India) Ltd, said the upcoming policy review comes at a time when geopolitical tensions, trade disruptions and commodity price volatility continue to cloud the global outlook. Despite these headwinds, he noted that domestic inflation remains within the RBI's manageable range, giving the central bank room to prioritise policy stability. Aggarwal said lower home loan rates, improving affordability and sustained consumer confidence have helped maintain healthy demand in the housing market. "Maintaining this supportive policy stance will help sustain housing demand, strengthen allied industries, and continue contributing meaningfully to India's economic growth," he said.

The August policy review follows the RBI's June MPC meeting, where the committee unanimously kept the repo rate unchanged at 5.25 per cent and retained its neutral policy stance. At the same time, the central bank revised its FY27 GDP growth forecast to 6.6 per cent, citing geopolitical risks. Investors are now expected to look beyond the rate decision itself and focus on the RBI's updated assessment of inflation, growth and external risks. With expectations firmly tilted towards a pause, the Governor's commentary on the evolving economic landscape may prove to be the most closely watched aspect of this week's monetary policy announcement.

Share Markets Pin Hopes On US-Iran Dialogue, Sensex About 550 Points Up, Nifty Over 24,550

Indian equity benchmarks opened the week on a strong note on Monday, supported by easing crude oil prices and optimism surrounding fresh diplomatic engagement between the United States and Iran. The gains came despite weakness across most Asian markets. The BSE Sensex rang the opening bell near 78,650, climbing close to 550 points, while the NSE Nifty50 started trading around 24,550, soaring more than 150 points, as of 9:15 AM. GIFT Nifty Signals Firm Start The GIFT Nifty pointed to a positive opening for domestic equities, trading at 24,589, up 136 points in early deals. At around 9:01 AM, the Sensex was trading 714.10 points, or 0.91 per cent, higher at 78,808.74, while the Nifty rose 120.40 points, or 0.49 per cent, to 24,504.00. The upbeat start follows a strong rally last week, with investors taking comfort from improving global cues, lower oil prices and positive technical indicators. Market sentiment improved after US President Donald Trump said negotiations with Tehran are set to begin on Monday, raising hopes of a diplomatic breakthrough and easing concerns over energy supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. Oil Prices Decline On Diplomatic Optimism Crude oil prices fell sharply after signs emerged that Washington and Tehran could resume negotiations. Brent crude futures for the August contract dropped 4.81 per cent to $83.70 per barrel, as traders anticipated that a potential agreement could ease supply concerns in the region. Lower crude prices are generally viewed as supportive for the Indian economy, helping reduce inflationary pressures, improve the current account balance and ease cost pressures for businesses. Also Read : Stock Market Timings Change From August 3: Here's What Investors Need To Know Asian Markets Trade Lower Despite the positive sentiment in India, equity markets across the Asia-Pacific region remained under pressure. South Korea's Kospi led regional losses, falling more than 4 per cent, while Japan's Nikkei 225 declined 1.84 per cent. Hong Kong's Hang Seng also traded sharply lower, losing nearly 4 per cent in early trade. The mixed global backdrop kept investors cautious even as domestic markets outperformed. Wall Street Ends Week On A Positive Note US markets ended Friday's session with healthy gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 0.53 per cent, while the S&P 500 climbed 0.70 per cent. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite outperformed, ending 1 per cent higher. The positive close on Wall Street provided some support to investor sentiment at the start of the week. Gold And Silver Edge Higher Precious metals traded in positive territory during early Monday deals. Gold futures rose 0.21 per cent, while silver futures gained 1.21 per cent, reflecting cautious positioning by investors amid ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties. Also Read : 7 Crucial Tax Rules For Equity, Gold And Property Investors Technical Outlook Remains Constructive According to Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research at Kotak Securities, Indian equities staged a broad-based recovery last week, with the Nifty gaining 2.6 per cent and the Sensex rising over 2,000 points. He noted that the rally was supported by widespread buying, with IT and automobile stocks emerging as the strongest performers. On the technical front, Chouhan said the market has turned constructive after moving decisively above its 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), while bullish chart patterns indicate that the positive momentum could continue in the near term. He identified the 24,130 level on the Nifty as the first key support, followed by 24,000. "As long as the index trades above these levels, the positive bias is expected to remain intact," he said. On the upside, Chouhan expects the 24,500-24,600 zone to act as the immediate resistance. A decisive move above 24,600, he said, could pave the way for a rally towards the 24,800-25,000 range. However, he cautioned that a close below 24,200 could weaken the ongoing uptrend and increase the possibility of the index slipping towards the 24,000-23,800 zone.
