RBI is unlikely to yield to the India Incs pressure for a benign monetary policy stance by keeping policy rates unchanged in its first monetary policy review of 2018-19 to be announced on Thursday against the backdrop of hardening global crude oil prices. This would also be the first monetary policy announcement after the Budget, which has slightly deviated from the fiscal consolidation roadmap. The six-member Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), headed by RBI Governor Urjit Patel, is to meet on April 4 and 5.

On Tuesday, despite volatility in the global markets, the Sensex and Nifty closed Tuesday's rangebound trade session with appreciable gains led by healthy buying in banking, auto, oil and gas, and healthcare stocks. The Sensex ended at 33,370, up 115.27 points, while the broader Nifty50 settled at 10,245, up 33.20 points. 

Meanwhile, foreign institutional investors sold equities worth Rs 376.51 crore, while domestic institutional investors bought equities worth Rs 479.18 crore.
