Market Weekahead: RBI rate decision to set tone for stocks

Analysts expect the central bank to keep rates on hold.

Investors are now looking at the Reserve Bank of India8217;s policy review on Monday at 11 am IST as the next key trigger,along with movements in global markets.

Although most analysts expect the central bank to keep rates on hold,an outside chance was seen after headline inflation slowed for a fourth straight month in May to 4.7 percent from a year earlier.

U.S. Federal Reserve8217;s outlook on its bond buying programme and the pace of foreign institutional investment flows would also be key in determining the direction of the market next week.

Fears the U.S. Federal Reserve could begin reducing its bond buying later in the year have fuelled a selloff in global markets this week,which has bruised stocks,bonds,emerging market assets and the dollar alike.

FIIs have been net sellers of shares for the previous three consecutive session,totalling 24.19 billion rupees so far,as per regulatory and exchange data.

KEY FACTORS/EVENTS TO WATCH

Monday: RBI monetary policy decision due at 11 am IST

Wednesday: U.S. Federal Reserve8217;s Federal Open Market Committee FOMC announces decision on interest rates.
