Morning Market Outlook: Stocks To Buy Today Ahead of RBI Policy Outcome

The outcome of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which was held on October 4-6, 2023, will be announced today. The Sensex gained 188.69 points to begin at 65,820.26, and the Nifty gained 58.40 points to open at 19,604.20, both in positive territory ahead of the RBI's policy meeting results. As RBI governor Shaktikanta Das is anticipated to retain the repo rate at 6.5% on Friday, there is talk about the status quo on interest rates, thus focus will be on the result.

Auto Sector In Focus

Kripashankar Maurya. AVP Research-Choice Institutional Equity said, following the announcement of a status quo on interest rates, we anticipate that certain sectors, namely the Automobile and Real Estate industries, will experience significant advantages from this decision. Additionally, this move is expected to maintain a positive sentiment, particularly during the festive spending season, which has a substantial impact on these sectors due to their sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

1. Maruti Suzuki
2. Hero MotoCorp
3. TVS Motors
