According to market experts, consolidation continued in the market as investors stayed cautious due to disappointment in earnings and the flight of FIIs. The US Fed continued its rate-cutting cycle to stimulate the economy and is expecting a similar 25-bps rate cut in the December policy meet amid moderation in inflation, they said. They further added that inflation in India is projected to rise in October and the strong US dollar will force the RBI to keep rates on hold in the near future.
