Stock Market LIVE Updates: RBI Policy-led gains hints at early signs of a potential shift in market direction

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Equity market posted a broad-based rally today, with the RBI's policy decision broadly in line with expectations but accompanied by a more constructive tone than in June, which buoyed investor sentiment. Its dovish stance, alongside an upward revision of India's GDP growth forecast from 6.5% to 6.8%, reinforced confidence.

Additional support came from five targeted measures to ease lending, including relaxed capital market exposure norms and enhanced infrastructure financing.

Gains were led by banking and consumer stocks, while autos advanced on the back of healthy sales. Overall, the rebound reflects improving sentiment and hints at early signs of a potential shift in market direction.
