Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services said the market took a breather, the investors are in a wait-and-watch mode ahead of the monetary policy announcement.
A better-than-estimated Q2 GDP growth, ease in global oil prices and drop in global bond yield will be the silver lining for the MPC.
However, the expectation of a rise in domestic November inflation, drop in Rabi cultivation and increase in foodgrain prices will influence RBI to adopt a cautious approach in the short-term.
