The currency’s performance is being closely linked to the RBI’s upcoming monetary policy decision and the continued elevation in oil prices amid the Iran war. Over the weekend, signs of easing volatility in bond and currency markets provided some relief to investors, while US nonfarm payrolls data dented expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike in the month. The RBI is set to announce its policy decision on Wednesday, with nearly 60 per cent of economists polled by Reuters expecting a 25-basis-point hike.

Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, said that a moderation in US Treasury yields could ease pressure on emerging-market assets and create a more constructive environment for foreign flows. Conversely, a further rise in yields could increase the relative appeal of US assets and encourage continued portfolio reallocation away from emerging markets. Rising global bond yields had already been among the factors weighing on Indian equities, alongside foreign selling, rupee weakness and elevated crude prices. The direction of global yields therefore remains an important variable for the broader market environment..Stock market today: TCS earnings in focus as investors seek the next market cue The beginning of the earnings season is another key area of focus for the domestic market. Index heavyweight TCS is scheduled to announce its September quarter earnings on October 8, while retail major DMart is also among the companies due to report results. Ajit Mishra, SVP–Research at Religare Broking, said the start of the earnings season would be an important feature of the week’s market landscape. Alongside corporate earnings, investors are also watching the RBI’s monetary policy meeting, crude oil prices, global bond yields, macroeconomic data announcements and foreign investors’ trading activity. India’s final HSBC Services PMI and Composite PMI readings for September are scheduled for release on October 6..Stock market today: RBI policy emerges as key domestic trigger The Reserve Bank of India’s monetary policy decision has emerged as the principal domestic trigger for financial markets. Hariselvan Radhakrishnan, Founder and CEO of HST Wealth, said the RBI’s policy decision would be closely watched, followed by the release of the US Federal Open Market Committee minutes. The minutes are expected to provide insights into the extent of support among US policymakers for further monetary tightening beyond the September rate increase. The RBI decision is also being watched against the backdrop of elevated crude prices, rupee weakness and broader changes in global monetary policy. The policy outcome and subsequent signals from the central bank are therefore among the key developments being tracked by investors..Stock market today: Brent stays above $100 amid energy concerns Oil prices found marginal relief as additional crude entered the market, with higher Middle Eastern shipments and the Group of Seven’s decision to release oil from emergency reserves easing some concerns over global energy supplies. The measures helped offset worries about possible further damage to energy infrastructure in the Gulf amid the Iran war. Brent crude was trading at $101.70, down 0.54 per cent, while WTI crude fell 0.92 per cent to $90.27. The G7 agreement covers the release of 100 million barrels of oil and fuel products, including diesel and crude, from emergency stocks. The countries have also pledged not to impose energy export restrictions. Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, described crude oil as the most immediate macroeconomic concern, citing pressure from Brent trading above $100 a barrel and continued geopolitical uncertainty..Stock market today: What will guide Dalal Street? RBI’s interest rate decision, TCS’ earnings, crude oil prices and global bond yields are expected to be important factors determining stock market movement.

Ajit Mishra, SVP–Research at Religare Broking, said that the RBI monetary policy meeting would be closely watched, with its policy stance, inflation outlook and growth projections providing cues on the near-term trajectory of domestic interest rates and financial markets. The earnings season is also set to begin, with TCS and DMart among the key companies scheduled to announce their results..Stock market today: Japan, Taiwan lead gains across Asian markets Asian markets traded mixed on Monday, with trading volumes subdued as holidays in China, South Korea and New South Wales in Australia kept some markets shut.
