Indian benchmark indices, the BSE Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to open on a cautiously positive note on June 8, supported by firm cues from the GIFT Nifty, which was trading higher near the 23,140 mark in early trade.

In the previous session, domestic equity markets ended marginally lower amid volatility after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) kept the repo rate unchanged at 5.25% and maintained its neutral policy stance. The central bank also revised its FY27 macroeconomic projections, lowering the GDP growth forecast to 6.6% from around 6.9%, while raising the inflation estimate to approximately 5.1%.

Investors will continue to assess the implications of the RBI’s updated outlook on growth and inflation, while tracking global market cues for further direction.
