POST-MARKET SUMMARY 06 October 2023
As anticipated, the benchmark indices responded favorably to the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) policy announcement on October 6, resulting in a second consecutive session of gains, with the Nifty hovering around 19,650. The RBI's monetary policy committee (MPC) maintained the key lending repo rate at 6.5% for the fourth consecutive time, in line with expectations, as their primary objective remained centered on controlling inflation. Additionally, the broader indices also recorded upward movements, with each of them posting gains exceeding half a percent.

BANK NIFTY: The index opened 182 points higher at 44,395 and closed at 44,360. Bank Nifty has formed a small bodied bearish candlestick pattern with minor upper and lower wicks on the daily chart. Its immediate resistance level is now placed at 44,600 while support is at 44,000.
