What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The Reserve Bank of India raised the repo rate to 5.5%, citing challenging geopolitical developments and growing inflation concerns. This decision comes as crude oil prices hover around $100 a barrel due to the crisis in Hormuz. Concurrently, higher global bond yields are making the equity market more sensitive to earnings.
