Markets deep in the red

RBI and the Indian Rupee both pulled down the benchmark indices last week. Nifty dropped down 5.62% to close at 10,316.45 and Sensex closed down 5.11% to end at 34,377.

In a surprise move, RBI on Friday decided to keep the repo rate unchanged at 6.5%. However, the Central Banker hinted that rates might be hiked in the near future, depending on the emerging situation. On Friday, during intra day trade, the Rupee dropped below 74 against the Dollar for the first time ever, before settling at 73.7675/$. The Rupee has dropped 1.76% over the previous week.

On a brighter side, manufacturing activity picked up in September compared to its previous month. The Nikkei India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index strengthened in September to 52.2 from 51.7 in August.
