Stock market today: RBI policy, earnings and geopolitics in focus

Dalal Street is entering a crucial session with several major events expected to influence investor sentiment over the coming sessions. The Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee meeting emerged as the key domestic event, with market participants closely tracking any signals on interest rates and the central bank’s economic outlook.

Alongside the policy decision, the June-quarter earnings season continued to gather pace, with several large-cap and mid-cap companies scheduled to announce their financial results. Investors also remained alert to geopolitical developments in West Asia, particularly the US-Iran conflict, as any escalation could disrupt crude oil supplies and impact global financial markets.

Besides these factors, manufacturing and services PMI data and foreign institutional investor activity were also expected to influence trading trends.
