RBI likely to hold rates on August 5 despite inflation uptick
Economic Times 3 hrs ago·29 Jul 2026, 1:35 am
The Reserve Bank of India may keep interest rates unchanged at its upcoming meeting on August 5. This decision is expected despite a recent increase in inflation, which is predicted to stay high for the next few months.
The inflation uptick is partly due to low base effects from the previous year, making the current numbers seem higher by comparison.
Investors should watch for the RBI's statement on August 5 to understand the central bank's stance on inflation and its plans for future rate changes, which can impact the broader market.
