RBI Holds Rates, Weighs On Indian Markets

Domestic markets are poised to open weak on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, as Gift Nifty at 25,600 signals a 125–130 point gap-down against Nifty futures of 25,725. Analysts expect the RBI Monetary Policy Committee to hold policy rates while focusing on transmission of 125 basis points of past cuts via VRR and OMOs; global risk-off and an AI-related selloff in IT stocks add downside pressure.
