The Indian equity benchmarks were trading sharply lower in noon deals on Wednesday, October 7, tracking a fall in the rupee which depreciated by 35 paise to hit an intraday low of 96.77 per dollar. This followed the Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee unanimously deciding to raise the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.5 % and shifting the policy stance to ‘calibrated tightening’. Rising crude prices in global markets also weighed on investor sentiment, analysts noted.
