Why are NIFTY50 and SENSEX down today?
NIFTY50 and SENSEX are trading lower after witnessing positive momentum in the last two trading sessions after the Reserve Bank of India raised repo rates by 25 basis points to 5.5%, for the first time since February 2023. RBI hiked key policy rates following interest rate hikes by some central banks, including the US Federal Reserve.
The decision was in line with broader expectations as the annual inflation rate rose to 4.82% in August 2026, marking the highest level since December 2024 and rising above the RBI's 4% target for the third consecutive month. The Middle East conflict and oil price uncertainty has fueled inflationary pressures across the globe.
Rate sensitive sectors like real estate, automobiles, NBFCs were trading under pressure after RBI rate hike, with NIFTY Realty and NIFTY Auto sectoral indices among top losers.
Besides this, Brent crude oil prices climbed above the $100 per barrel once again amid supply concerns linked to the US-Iran war and storm affecting US oil production. Consistent FIIs selling and weaker Indian rupee also made investor sentiment weak.
