Nifty’s Move Hinges On RBI Rate Decision; HUL, ITC Hotels In Focus| Opening Bell Live
The Nifty 50 snapped its four-day losing streak on December 4, gaining 0.2% to close above the previous day’s high and reclaim the 26,000 mark. The index also held firm above its 20-day EMA. Experts say as long as Nifty defends the 25,900 level, an upside toward 26,100–26,300 remains likely amid ongoing consolidation. A decisive drop below this zone, however, could open the door to 25,840 — a crucial support. Among stocks to watch: HUL and ITC Hotels. The focus, though, remains on the RBI’s policy decision today — with the Street expecting a 25-basis-point rate cut even as strong growth and a weak rupee could keep the central bank cautious.
