RBI
Despite the easing trend in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) statistics, experts advised that given the weight of global uncertainty, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) might not be in a rush to lower interest rates.

As far as BankNifty is concerned, immediate support is placed at 48,165 while in the short-term, the upside seems to be capped at 49,000 (ICICI Bank- anticipating a Pennant & Pole Breakout, IDFC First Bank- Flag and Pole Breakout). As per our expectations, a strong rally was seen in the Metal segment and we will continue to remain overweight on the same, one can opt to buy on dips strategy as well.
